I have always been amazed at how we, as a nation, has dealt with Covid-19 It seemed so simple! There would be two tests. The first to tell if you had it or able to pass it. The second tells whether you have had it and have the anti-bodies to prove it.
It's not as simple. We don't even know yet if people who had it can get infected again. Levels of antibodies among those who have recovered, have varied greatly, from almost none to a lot.
And then, tests have false negatives and false positives.
Sure, I'd love to see more tests available... but it's not easy to test 330 million people.
The solutions are not as simple.
The only true solution will be an effective vaccine that confers lasting immunity and still works in case of mutation.
Until then (if we get one), we'll have to live with this new reality, test or no test.

Please take COVID-19 seriously; don't panic but don't deny it; practice social distancing (stay 6ft from people); wash your hands a lot, don't touch your face, don't gather with too many people, so that you help us contain it.
