An argument for *random* COVID-19 testing. Tesing is biased toward the sick & ill. So we don't know how much COVID-19 there is or how dangerous it is. This uncertainty => over and/or under reaction. We can't manage what we don't measure respresentatively. https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/17/a-fiasco-in-the-making-as-the-coronavirus-pandemic-takes-hold-we-are-making-decisions-without-reliable-data/ …

So then you're in favor of testing anyone who drives up to a testing facility?

No of course not. Targeted testing is extremely important, using pre-test probability as a guide. If there's no chance someone has COVID-19, and we have limited resources, test those who are most likely to be sick
