Ok what does all this have to do with anything. Most everyone that will test will get a correct result. Why does it matter if you test everyone you’ll get more false results. And you don’t even know this, it’s just a theory.
But really forget about the theory part, I’m failing to get how you don’t think it’s a good idea to test everyone. Is that you just not wanting to be tested? If this is the case then I would totally understand.
But throwing statistics to argue this makes zero sense, most everyone will get a correct result. You’re just testing someone, nobody knows if they have this virus it’s asymptotic until it’s too late.
