tested?

Whether its fear of high medical costs, the fear of losing your job or unpaid sick leave there are a lot of reasons why people in the US would not do whats in the best interests to stop the spread. Do you think they will add some safeguards to encourage people to get tested / stay in quarantine?

Lots of well educated people don't get them for 2 main reasons.
Not 100% effective as the virus mutates quickly
And lots of people get sick from the shot

It's not like a bunch of anti vaxxers.
4.) Needles hurt

The flu isn't deadly for most adults. It's mainly an issue for young children and elderly. Yeah people should get the flu shoots, but it's not like the worst thing in the world if you do skip it.

That said anyone is trying to be pro-active about coronavirus is going to be spending money to do so, because there's no free flu for this that people can take advantage of. Meaning for people who already can't afford to go to the doctor or miss work are the people who are at the biggest risks of coronavirus.

If you show up in a doctors office or ER with symptoms, theyll test you. The idea of trying to just test all the random people is ridiculous because there will never be enough tests to do that.

Besides. The tests havent exactly had a spotless track record so far. The worst thing we could do is give a bunch of people the all clear while some of them are actually infectious.
