The massive testing effort was a trap. So the recovery is very much in jeopardy
Agree. I live in Florida, and a bar that had just opened up again had to close again on Friday (with three hours notice!). The owner said that this time, he doesn’t think he’s going to be able to bring it back. Also, his employees are absolutely crushed.
It’s a very nice place, too, not a rowdy beach-front bar. Closing the bars was stupid, but I guess DeSantis got intimidated.
I have never understood the logic behind mass testing as a matter of course. A person may be given false confidence with a negative result since he may well receive a positive result if tested tomorrow.
