How can testing help when people don't have symptoms for 5 days during this time they can pass it on to many other people. Unless you want somehow to test all 300 mil people overnight?

Masks will really help because this virus mostly is spread thru touch of soiled surface. And people tend to touch everything and then touch their face, nose, lips etc. Mask will limit that.

Like I said you test all the people most likely to have come in contact.

And that’s exactly why masks don’t work. People touch the outside of the mask to remove it and then their eyes or nose or they eat.

People don’t understand you have to wash your hands after removing the mask.

I hear you. Too bad a mask cannot possible come with a manual. /s

How many people read manuals? Especially for something simple like a mask? They assume they know how to use it properly.
