I agree that more testing would go a long way towards lifting the cloud of confusion and uncertainty. I'm hopeful that accurate quick-result home tests will be available by the end of the year.

Overall, I'm more optimistic than I was because our area to date has not had an overwhelming number of cases. Whether or not that number will rise with restrictions gradually being lifted remains to be seen, but my wife and I will nonetheless remain quietly at home until testing is widely available and new daily infections are at zero.

I am very grateful that we're living in a time of food/grocery delivery services and online ordering!
