I think that when there are calls for widespread testing it is a call for a system similar to what you see in S. Korea where there is a lot of testing, very quick contact tracing, and alerts about positive cases. This allows for lowering the R0 by isolating fewer people and letting more people continue to work.

FWIW, many of those countries that have been touted as testing+tracing success cases are now reporting patterns consistent with uncontrolled exponential growth of the virus in the past few days (although not in SK yet)

It's a clear pattern of citizens returning with the virus when borders started to close.
