Well, the more we learn about it the more we seem to find out a few things. For one, asymptomatic spread doesn’t seem to be a huge factor. So we do need tests that are actually testing to see when you’re the most infectious. So that would allow us to know who needs to quarantine
The problem with pcr is people who aren’t showing symptoms have to quarantine because of a test when they may be not able to make infect others
So yeah testing could help in that manner. But you open other issues with more less “accurate” testing as well:
If you know who’s got it and you can catch it early you could smother it down ideally. So in short.....I dunno. Maybe maybe not
