Basically, if you could test EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN today, then quarantine all the positive cases, we would eradicate the virus in two weeks. Frankly, that should be the goal. It is definitely humanly possible. And the reality is you can eradicate it much sooner than testing everybody in the country by focusing your testing on hotspot areas and contact-tracing.
I read a few days ago South Korea has a test that gets results in a matter of hours I think. Or maybe less.

Basically, if you could test EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN today, then quarantine all the positive cases,
when and how often to I get retested if I am negative? The test is a snapshot in time. Negative today, positive later today.
In our current plan path, What does testing buy us? how do we treat tested positive, asymptomatic patients ? How many are re-infected ? or is it a flair up of the original infection ?
I always thought S. Korea has the right plan and their numbers are going down yet they reported 146 new cases today with 5 new deaths.
Seems to me, this thing just has to run its course.
