If testing people determined whether they have the virus or not with 100% certainty, then all we'd have to do is test everyone simultaneously once and we'd be able to completely stop it.
And does the CDC require a negative COVID test for Ukraine refugees? I would hope not. But I do hear about refugees being prevented from entering for ... (no idea).
Unfortunately this lack of human sympathy seems to pervade the US government. Using an analogy from China, would one prevent an elderly person who is seriously ill from getting into the hospital because there is no negativr covid test yet?
