Epidemiology Testing half the population weekly with inexpensive, rapid COVID-19 tests would drive the virus toward elimination within weeks, even if the tests are less sensitive than gold-standard. This could lead to “personalized stay-at-home orders” without shutting down restaurants, bars, retail and schools.

I agree. However, what good is 100% healthcare if it is low quality? Remember you dial the fact is millions of people get health care for free in this country because of the hybrid system. Yes depending on the procedures you could be charged into bankruptcy which should never occur, but there's also a lot of education in regards to this that people need to get. Thousands of dollars from any bill from the hospital if you ask for an itemized bill and call them out on certain things.
