I know they keep talking about testing and having millions of tests ready, but I'm not sure if they have said the back up is in reading the tests. I'm also not sure if they don't want to do random testing because they think if people get a test result that shows they don't have CV if people would start to blow off on the hand washing and social distancing, not understanding that if they don't have CV they still can be infected.
Tests are not ESP, they do not tell if you will get the virus in the future (that's a function of the yet to be deployed anti-body tests). Their purpose is to find those currently infected, so they can be isolated in order to contain the spread.
I don't think we'll ever have enough tests to use them to "clear" somebody for work since they would need to be administered every day, or every few days in order to be effective.
