The USA still has one of the lowest rates of testing in the world, on a per capita basis, and you still don't have quick and accurate tests available nationwide. 2.8 million tests in a population of 325 million people, 0.8% of the population. No nation in the first world has tested less of its population, and that's because for months you didn't have a test, and the rest of the world did.
The Abbott Lab's much touted 5 minute test is only 80% accurate, which means that 20 people out of every hundred tested are getting false results. This truly is a situation where "one is too many".
I truly do not see talking about re-opening the economy on May 1st when you haven't even stopped the exponential growth of the rate of infection, widespread testing is still not available throughout the country, and the deaths are really only beginning.
This is a worldwide pandemic, you know. Will the rest of the world's economy be reopened on 1 May?
