Testing more people is not going to change anything, this virus is so easy to transmit that we should take for granted that we will catch it anyway.
What we can do instead is realize that we are facing something big and protect vulnerable people from it by asking them to stay at home and create a system to send them food safely, it is almost useless to prevent healthy and young people to work as it will just block the economy/transportation/health work/everything
