You need either way more testing or lockdown. We we will all no someone who has it and in 2 or 3 weeks odds are we know someone who died.

This is really dumb...how does more testing help the situation? I know which way you vote based off of your idiotic statement. Even if you have the damn virus and aren't feeling badly, then why in the hell do you need to take the test? Save the limited tests for the sick people (not that many yet).
