So shes saying mass testing doesn't work?? What about South Korea,where there are so few new cases now? If people know they have it they will abide by quarantine more! They got the green light to test more people in the er now my wife says, who is a er doctor. She also says the tests are not very good some times as it takes 3 tests to get a positive result when they are certain a patient has covid and the first couple tests come back negativeDr. Bonnie Henry keeps saying a negative test, while good, is a wasted test. It does not pick up the virus in the first 3 to 5 days; you can be infectious and still show symptoms the next day. Mass testing is a waste of resource as it instills false confidence.
All bets are off now: "South Korea says recovered COVID-19 patients re-testing positive"
