Part 2/11:
One of the primary critiques of current government responses is the lack of widespread testing and accessible vaccines. Critics argue that the assumption "if you're not testing, then the virus isn't there" is dangerously misleading. We have experienced firsthand how limited testing can obscure the true extent of an outbreak, allowing the virus to spread undetected.
Proponents suggest supplying rapid, home-use testing kits to farm workers, their families, and healthcare providers. This would enable early detection, swift containment, and informed decision-making, rather than waiting for lengthy lab results from public or CDC laboratories.
