If, we recall, originally, to get a test you had to be showing symptoms. Using that as an
average baseline of course the only way for it to go is down.

As to money, effort etc. Fortunately it is not my job, a thankless job to be sure, to make the decisions but, in my opinion spending limited resources, yes, everything has a limit,
on tests or vaccines clearly I would vote for vaccines.

Aside, a covid test. What does it even mean? You could arrive to get the test done and catch covid 19 while you are there.

People, all of us, including me are in a panic. Sadly, read the posts, many remind me of the movie Titanic. Women and children first. Hey, Mildred which one of your wigs look best on me?

All of the people are NOT in a panic. Many are very calm and some are calm because they are too oblivious to the seriousness and rapid change of the CV dilemma. There SHOULD have been more panic and action in March 2020. There has been UNNECESSARY panic because of government confusion and outright lies. A TV channel, radio shock jocks, FB, Twitter, and dark web media have fanned the flames of panic with unchecked LIES. The cure is open-mindedness and searching for the truth. Finding TRUTH takes work snd concentration to sift through the lies. There is much more information available today than in (say) 1960, but much of it is deception masquerading as information. Buyer and consumer beware!
