  > it finally looks like the federal government is going to act competently Testing only those with symptoms (the virus has a 4-6 day contagious incubation period) will do little to nothing to stop the spread. There are thousands, perhaps tens of thousands of people walking around asymptomatic and contagious right now, in pretty much every state in the country (as well as pretty much every country in the world). In a week it will be 2x that number. In two weeks it will be 4x that number. Imagine if you needed AIDS symptoms to get an HIV test.

    Imagine if you needed AIDS symptoms to get an HIV test. Did you see how the 80s and 90s played out in the US?

    You're preaching to the choir. I think that this Administration is a complete disaster at every level and especially with regards to its response to COVID19. I've been preaching about the dangers of COVID19 since the first case was discovered in America. I'm just trying to see it from people's point of view that don't live in my reality.

    What is your source on 4-6 days contagious incubation? Estimates I've seen were lower. This critical period is elsewhere described as (incubation - latent): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incubation_period
