Goose, I know you are a really smart person, but, it's really time to stop bending over backwards to find the evidence-based position in the current Executive Branch. Like Maya Angelou famously said: When someone shows you who they are, believe them.  It's been well established that the White House has no regard for truth. It's been well established that the White House will hide information and lie in service of its own agenda. It's been established that it doesn't think it needs to serve all states and all Americans. It has shown it will corrupt every office and apparatus of government and break laws in service of its self-serving agenda.

Now, having said all that, on the topic of asymptomatic testing that you spent a fair amount of energy trying to find a justification for not doing:

And I'll close with this. My sister works in a medical office. She shows no symptoms, but a co-worker showed up sick to work this week and yesterday tested positive. My sister shares a house with her husband and two daughters. She got tested today. Now she has to wait 3 days to get results. There are so many ways I can make a case about the inadequacy of testing and specifically for asymptomatic infected testing, but I won't. I just have to brace for the possibility my sister and her whole family are gonna get Covid-19. And I KNOW inadequate testing will be a primary reason it happened if it does.
