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.
What? We have tested more people than the rest of the World combine.
Maybe a good question is why the previous federal and local administrations were so ill prepare to handle a situation like the one we find ourselves in.
