I just don't see unless testing is scaled to a massive level what good it really does. Until the positive tests compared to the tests we're doing gets down around 1%, we're catching like a fraction of the virus.

You're right. The scaling over the last three weeks has been a massive failure. I'm also highly skeptical of the initial reports on antibody tests. The information that came out from the Santa Clara study on antibodies claimed the test had 99.5% specificity, which is almost certainly horseshit.
