By mid-summer, that red bar will slow down.
Even at the newly-opened "drive-throughs", applicants will be screened to determine if the test is necessary. Symptoms would have to be apparent. A doctor's prescription would be best. As in
Ebola determinations, it is at this early stage that errors can be introduced.
Like the CDC test for the Ebola disease, the CDC's Covid-19 tests are not 100% accurate. A faster, better, test was approved by the FDA only this week. A private firm, who pioneered in this form of testing,
Roche can supply 400,000 tests, producing them within 24 hours.
As for "flattening the curve",
isolation will extend the exposure period into September
but reduce the fatal aspects of Covid-19 on those aged into their 70s. (Blue line >70s).
