People like myself would act very differently to a cold than COVID. It changes also needs to isolate/quarantine, and helps us get a handle on asymptomatic cases who otherwise would go around continuing to infect others.

This won't help us get a handle on asymptomatic cases - to do that, we'd have to be able to test everyone on a frequent and consistent basis.
This program doesn't even cover one test for everyone in my house, let alone weekly or more frequent testing. And aside from this, I have to spend hours looking for any available rapid tests to buy around here, and if/when I have some, I can't afford to use them on randomized or even weekly testing.
