I dislike this argument very much. Decision-making is important, but there is no feasible, equitable, or realistic way to randomly test people for #COVID19 during an outbreak
Look, my point is not to attack you either, it's that this isn't an ethical simulation. I'm not saying we can't reason ourselves into a position where random testing is the most ethically defensible stance, I'm saying even if you could it's an obvious impossibility practically

I'm saying we are making these decisions every single day, when we tell a patient who calls to do a video interview with a doctor instead of coming in, when we turn someone away at a tent... Why not be systematic and learn something?

Because people aren't systematic. I wouldn't want to be the person explaining to a parent that their feverish, coughing children can't be tested because the government has decided that sampling should be randomly allocated in the population
