You can test all you want, with a spread like in the USA, there will be trouble to have proper treatment for all the cases. If such testing had begun earlier, then maybe lock down or near lock down scenarios could have been avoided. I see little chance, even with such 1 mio tests, to get it back under control without some kind of lock down or similar restriction to slow the spread. Where do you put all the infected people without locking down? If everyone infected is just told to stay at home, even if everyone complies, it is like a self quaranteen, like a lock down for those people.
