[edit: tldr; There is no such thing as "getting tested". Stop looking for reassurance over a cough and fever; YOU WILL NOT BE TESTED FOR MILD SYMPTOMS; you're wasting very limited and precious healthcare resources which people who are potentially dying from severe symptoms need access to. Just. Stay. Home! /rant]

Woah man, your tone is a bit over the top here. People may not know what's going on.

I understand you're upset, it's a very upsetting situation. But venting to HN won't really help the things that are upsetting to you.

It's more effective I think to explain the situation clearly and help other on this site understand why mass testing is not a good idea in parts of the US.

EDIT: thanks the edit is much more effective!

I get what you are saying but it is getting really boring explaining basic facts again and again and again. The whole 'my opinion is valuable and the world is a debate' is great in good times. These are bad times and lots of people really do need to stop talking and start listening.

EDIT I hope the downvoters and their families make it through the epidemic alive.
