I don’t mean to be disagreeable, but how is this really supposed to work? We all get tested, and people go back to work, but the police can stop you at any time and say “Papers, please.” And then you have to show your test results to prove that you are allowed to move about freely within the country?
Is that what it’s coming down to?
I’m not necessarily against the Testing (but I won’t be taking Bill Gates’ vaccine). I would like the economy to re-open. But I don’t want to see the re-opening of the economy tied to mandatory testing.

It works in Taiwan, Singapore and Hong Kong. At the risk of stereotyping, they’re practical people, and they know they can’t afford to have their economies closed.

I suspect a lot of businesses will require testing of prospective job applicants, and of customers. They don’t want to be petrie dishes for virus outbreaks. They don’t want to be the next carnival cruise.
In fact, sport league executives are already talking about quick-testing fans before letting them in the stadiums.
You’d be free to not take the test. They’d be free not to let you in. Freedom goes for business owners too — just like they’re free to keep people out who don’t wear shirts or shoes. Or they’re free not to hire somebody who refuses to take a drug test.
