We need to know who has the virus to know how to fight it.  We are finally testing more and therfore are finding more infected people, but because we are testing more and finding out who is infected we at long last are beginning to know who to isolate and/or treat so that they cannot infect 2 to 4 more people as they likely would if not isolated after being tested.  The more people who are tested the more people are placed in isolation the lower the contagious infection rate because more and more infected cases are revealed and isolated.  THAT is why the medical community has been and still is calling for more testing.  Most of the people being tested are having symptoms but fortunately a large majority have the seasonal flu, bhronchitis or a common cold rather than Covid-19.  Isolating as many infected persons as possible and keeping a distance from evrybody you do not know for sure is not infected is how we eventually beat this thing.  That is why the thought of ''packed churches'' on Easter Sunday is madness!
