If you test everyone in the United States, you will find a virus particle in the nose of some fraction of Americans forever. Now, you can continue to do universal testing, like a lot of universities, and continue to sample people and bring them in and if they test positive, put them in jail for ten or fourteen days. But if you do that with meningococcus, which is a bacteria that causes meningitis, you will find it living in the nose of 10% of the U.S. population. And so we can’t go hunting for a problem that is a very mild or asymptomatic illness.”
