Fauci criticized Dr. Scott Atlas, a Stanford professor advising the Trump administration, for stating the current public health measures were overkill and recommending the following: 3. “Only the symptomatic should be tested.” What is Creator’s perspective?

We agree with Dr. Atlas on this issue as well. Knowing the tested status of people is not a perfect way to tell who is dangerous and who is not. People can test positive for many reasons including the fact they may have had an infection that is, for all intents and purposes, over and done with without having become symptomatic; but residual virus, mostly dead virus, is still detectable in their system. So testing does not give you an accurate picture of danger level or whether or not the individual will become symptomatic and in need of treatment that might be costly, inconvenient, and potentially bring about side effects. So overtesting accomplishes little that is useful; it is of greatest benefit in providing a diagnosis for those with symptoms to know what the medical care providers are dealing with.
