Here’s what I don’t get about anyone against adding more testing regardless of accuracy or how many are missed.

So you have 5 people that enter a place infected with Covid-19. What is the transmission rate for those who come in contact with these 5 assuming people come in contact with at least one infected?

Now you have 5 people that enter a place and only 2 of 5 are infected, what is the transmission rate for those who come in contact with these people assuming they don’t some don’t come in contact with the 3 infected?

Does testing even if cases are missed help to reduce the transmission rate? The math would simply say yes. Do people just assume they don’t have to take other precautions since they’ve been tested? The guidance to them should be “no” since you can still come in contact and contract it after being tested. The goal should be to reduce transmission rate and then you can start to open things back up.
