Mostly Meaningless Metric

My worthless Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander wants more testing for COVID-19 before the US economy fully reopens. Testing to what end I ask? You could test negative for Coronavirus at the start of the day and be infected without knowing it by the end of your shift. You could be silently spreading COVID to your previously healthy coworkers throughout the day though everyone but a solitary customer, who did not know he was sick either, tested negative when the day started. Testing has its place when figuring out who needs treatment and who does not because they have something else, but what the nation and world need are treatments, a cure, and a vaccine or vaccines.
