The more I talk to people who are knowledgeable about PCR tests, the more I think that the best first step is to stop mass testing.

"Cases" should be determined by doctors who test symptomatic people and combine the test with a clinical assessment.
This is only controversial because we've been told that test-and-trace can be used to stamp out outbreaks. That is clearly ludicrous at this stage of the pandemic.
Testing resources should go to places where they protect the vulnerable, and that includes making home tests available OTC so people can test before visiting family members.

Birx promised in April that we'd have these tests in weeks. What happened?
