Indeed, it is not. But responsible reporting by both the testers and the media would perhaps help. The media is losing the little credibility left by it's sensationalized and misleading headlines. I've also been noticing old articles are being pushed out again, as if they were new - until you check the date and see they are old.
With regard to the testers, I'm having a bit of concern, having recently learned of someone who made an appointment for testing (not here - over in the Miami area) who made an appointment for testing, but then was a no-show; four days later, she received notification of her positive test.
And of course we have the (mostly) younger groups that are having COVID parties and intentionally trying to win the pot of gold ($ thrown into a pot by all attendees) by being the first to have a positive test out of all the attendees.
