Start systematic mass testing to prevent the spread of COVID19
City by city, town by town, university by university all organisations have to start doing mobile testing to avoid more people with the virus but not the symptoms walking around infecting more. This is to preempt but just to sit and wait to respond.
To be systematic and proactive in the response not just dependent a few models or a few experts who need to look at the higher and other longer term risks.
To give people visibility the government is being open and transparent and not just coming up with short sound bites behind close door.
The test can give people reassurance if they are ok.
The test will also allow people to do something earlier if they are infected.
