No I'm convinced it's pointless because herd immunity is inevitable and essentially free.
Testing somebody in the morning, then them going to the grocery store in the afternoon, is pointless.
Testing takes a significant amount of resources per test, which we don't have to do 300 million tests per week.
If you walk through the problem at this point, there is no solution for the US. Mother Nature won this time, and people like you are shouting into the wind.
Even if there was a vaccine tomorrow, there's enough anti-vaxxers that it won't be 100% applied. And it better be a free vaccine, because half the population is unemployed at this point and they're not paying $100 for non-essentials.
