End of Testing?

The County of Morris is closing its single remaining test site for COVID-19 today. Now as we have said and others followed testing is sine qua non for disease control. The Governor states again and again that science and numbers rule. Well is we no longer test what numbers do we rely upon? Is there some Oracle of Trenton we rely upon?

We know that the total infected is NOT what we have been told, it is much larger. That then makes the death rate much lower. But we fail to know the demographic or psychographic profiles of the infected.

This is especially critical as new sites of infection occur. We need to have more testing and ease of walk in etc. I have been saying that for months, it is obvious, yet not to our Wizards in Trenton. Pity!
