but as you yourself have emphasized relatively small numbers of people / events can have large consequences b/c of way virus spreads. if 10% behave in ways that risk super-spreader events, that can cumulate fast. still in favor of more testing of course but worth thinking about

But even in this particular case, which is truly atypical in the depth of the denial and with every possible wrong action being taken—despite all possible tools at their disposal—it's the frequent, mass testing that's stopped the cluster from sparking tons more clusters.
