    Yes this. We need systematized random testing in the US. New York has ramped up testing but we're flying blind in most places (including CA).https://twitter.com/COdendahl/status/1243483357209649152 …

        Newsom has been doing community surveillance testing in a few places such as in Santa Clara, CA but I don’t know if the results have been reported.

        The governor pointed to efforts in counties to use testing... to better understand local health conditions. “These were just broad random tests that were done with people that were otherwise young & healthy and thought they were perfectly healthy,” https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-03-21/california-needs-more-targeted-coronavirus-testing-says-gov-gavin-newsom …

        California is not doing any sort of generalized random testing. There have been some studies/efforts, but this is not a large-scale policy here.

        It’s the only possible way to get people back to work quickly. I don’t understand how this isn’t obvious.

        man, it's becoming clear that the vast majority of america isn't capable of thinking thru things like statistics (Just to make it clear, I agree with you)

        Given that AZ just announced they’re likely going to have to stop all #COVID19 testing due to test shortages, I see it highly unlikely.

        NYTimes reported yday that NYC now with severe shortage of tests and testing supplies - sending saliva sample in urine cup to our Quest here in CA. Theoretically, mass testing and mass masking would be great, but we don’t have the goods so we need to use other strategies.
