In other words, it's a hell of a lot easier to test 50% of 1,000 than it is 50% of 5,000,000.

That's just excuses. Yeah it's going to be harder, but we also have the manpower and the world class science to get ahead of this and attack it and we chose not to do it.
People can dance around it all they want, but if you want to get out ahead of it you have to test. And that works both ways. There is a huge chance there are a lot of people who had this and don't know it and could go back out into society. If you want to get things back to normal it'd be a lot easier if people knew they had it. Otherwise you're going to create a situation where people are staying at home and the economy is still in the tank because they're afraid of catching a disease they already had, and don't know it. That's not going to improve the situation.
