I think that the argument “it never works like that” should be coupled with at least one data point.

I don’t think it’s helpful to dismiss other commenters based upon simply your opinion, and not a set of facts we can all inspect together.

"never works like that" was meant to reflect that naive, knee jerk solutions never account for all the complexities of the problem and do more harm than good.

distributing COVID tests to the population is a ridiculous idea that does not do anything but create more panic and trouble.

The problem that needs a solution has nothing to do with whether Random Jane can or cannot (in the privacy of their home) determine if they are infected.

For what is worth, there are people out there, not even few, that would knowingly seek to infect others especially if they themselves suffer almost no effects from the disease. They would do it just for the "lulz". Have you considered that? Being infected, knowing it and suffering no ill effects is an evil superpower.

there are still no facts and no sources in your argument. I cannot and will not engage in this sort of meaningless argumentation without data.
