The numbers will keep going up, tests or no test without a complete shut down. They are talking about people in jails getting the virus. Obviously people in jail aren't going to China. So either a few recent arrests allowed the virus to get into the jail system. Or people who worked at the jail contaminated it by going about business as usual.

Plus we have a so called US President who says 100,000 Americans dead is basically a good job. Republicans would have impeached Obama for something like that. It's called failure to protect American citizens.

This is real simple. Start April 1st.

1. Shut down everything except essentials.

2. No one goes anywhere except for food, medicine, hospital, or money.

3. Have police at the essential areas to maintain distance if necessary. I think they did this in Italy. It still took a while for their numbers to slow because the virus lives for a while. And you'll need 2 to 3 weeks for symptoms to show in people.

Tests are fine. But positive tests will still get you quarantine. And I think the numbers in the United States are such that tracing contacts almost doesn't matter anymore. At least not until we get the numbers under control again. Or in smaller population areas. New York for example is way out of control. Perhaps if someone gets the virus in a small town you can figure that out pretty easily.
