Yep...people will be debating this episode 10+ years from now. And reliable data will still be hard to get 10+ years from now.
We have drive-up testing sites popping up around town like new Starbucks. The accuracy of this testing is not always reliable. Results in 15 minutes ? How accurate is that test ? What does faulty data add to understanding where government decision making is involved ?

My ER doc daughter-in-law says the
proper conduct of a nasal swab test is critical...and if not done correctly can produce rather high rates of false negatives. How often is a nasal swab done properly at a drive-up site ? Who are the people doing the tests ?

This will be debated 10+ years from now...maybe even longer. It's a mess.
