Agree that testing is not all that useful for most.

Especially since we know that lots of people get it as time goes on and the typical herd immunity benefits us all. I don't really understand the desire to do all the tracking. It's not like it's leprosy or Aids. Like the regular flu nearly all of us are going to get it at some point I would imagine. So long as hospitals aren't overrun. They're largely empty in most places now, so that's not happening.
