If we don't know where we stand re infections (the hidden threat), how can we make a sane decision that it's safe to go back to business as usual?

Hope is not a strategy. I've no confidence in what they're telling me - it is NOT safe to go back to "normal" until we get more testing done.
Let’s see, new virus and 350 million plus people. they are testing the hot spots, our area not considered hot spot
