> As an Indian why do I believe community transmission has not started or rampant Oh stop it! There have been confirmed cases of folks who do not have travel history but are infected with SARS-CoV-2 [0]. Plus, we aren't even testing enough to know the extent of the spread. > Is this the right thing to do? It is absolutely the right thing to do. Should have happened sooner. > ...we can't test someone once and be done with it, constant testing will be needed, and at our size, we can't do it This is not even a good excuse. The only way to get out of a quarantine or lockdown before a vaccine is ready is to extensively test anyone that wants to be tested, and if positive, contact-trace everyone else and have them tested too. There's no other way anyone is getting ahead of the spread otherwise. Repeat after me: Testing isn't sufficient by all in itself, but it is absolutely necessary. > I really hope we can get to some scale in temperature surveillance at scale Temperature surveillance? Jesus Christ, you do not think tests are enough but want checks for symptoms that close to 80% infected people do not display for days on end, if ever?
