You are reading a lot of stuff into my comment that is not there.
1. I’m all for more testing, and would gladly be tested.
2. You really don’t think the cohort of people who would refuse testing wouldn’t also be less likely to follow CDC guidelines? This increasing the chance they are infected.
3. All I was trying to say, was that random testing will be confounded by things like people refusing. Perhaps it gets us close enough. Perhaps people who refuse are more likely to be infected. Or maybe less likely, because they are loners who don’t go out thanks to their doomsday prepping or something. I think it is worth being aware of.
You seem to be incredibly confident that the cohort who would refuse testing will have the exact same infection rate as everyone else. Care to share why you are so certain of that?
