There are two types of tests that we need. The first is to identify who is currently infectious. They can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. You don't seem to care about the asymptomatic though they can actually more important to identify. These should be prioritized towards front line workers such as healthcare providers, grocery store employees, and other essential workers. As tests become wider spread and easier to conduct, the circle of who gets tested can widen. We probably will never get to -- no actually need to -- test everyone. But, there should be enough random testing to sample populations and identify outbreaks early. The second test is for antibodies to see who has had the virus and may have some amount of immunity. Those individuals can obviously be a bit more open though we still need to confirm how much immunity is achieved.

PPE may be a mask but I'll take the advice of medical professionals. More than that may be required. [b]Equally important is the transition to socially distant workplaces. The "open floor plan" office environment is probably going to have to go. Same as cube farms.[/b] Maybe a lot of this can continue as teleworking. We won't be able to have workers situation cheek by jowl anymore.

I have little concern about what SK and Germany are doing. I am concerned about what we are doing and we are not doing enough. That is not a Democratic talking point, but one espoused just this morning by Republican Governor Hogan.
