Look at S. Korea or Germany for your answer. They tested quickly and their DPA was put into place to produce all the needed medical equipment. The US fiddled while CV burned. The result they quickly got back their economy and people went to work. We the US of A now leads the world in all the Bad CV stats. We have 15 to 29% unemployment(depending if you count people not trying). And out GNP is toast. Bottom line----better to spend money on tests early. You could say "the early bird avoids the CV".
