It is still very difficult to get a test weeks after we were promised they were available to everyone.

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.
I was tested at the Polo Field in The Villages. It was simple, quick, efficient and free. No problem getting it done, I signed up on line and the next day was tested. It took 5 minutes total. I drove in at 10:15 and was finished at 10:20. Results were emailed in 24 hours. I was not infected with the virus, my cough is from allergies.
