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 here what you’re saying but I really think the govt. would like us to wait another month but there’s to many impatient people out there that want go back to work & rightly so. If to many businesses open back up you’ll see people with Covid-19 working right along side of someone that doesn’t & then here we go again, it’ll start all over again! Also I PERSONALLY think you’re wrong about the U.S. being one of the slowest in developing a vaccine. If your watching the news (any news) they’re saying it’ll be at least a yr. before they find a vaccine. Other countries haven’t even mentioned about having a vaccine, unless you believe China. I’m staying home as much as I can, other people can do what they want, it’s their life!
