I was thinking about it over the last couple days, and finding a way to mass-produce free tests that have a quick turnaround time on results is so far the only way I have imagined this disease being stopped, outside of a cure.

I'd agree. Almost no one in my town is self-isolating . My state hasn't issued a lockdown but a strong "please stay home" that took effect today and the retailer I work for had their sales were up 10% over last year when I left.

Besides testing everyone it would require an authoritarian crackdown and that's awful too.

I'm convinced the death toll in the US is going to be catastrophic, and as always, largely borne by the poor and POC. And the survivors will be straddled with crippling medical debt.
