This is from an article in our local newspaper after the governor of my state (Charlie Baker) visited a lab today with the state's Secretary of Health and Human Services:
Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders anticipates the state will have the ability to conduct 3,500 tests per day beginning early next week. Those tests are being done at the state lab and commercial labs, she said. "Our goal is to have as much testing capacity as possible," she said. Baker stressed the need to get to at least 3,500 tests a day at minimum.

3500 tests per day?! Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here but I'm wondering why our goal isn't to AVOID having to conduct 3500 tests per day!! Like you said, "Bite the bullet, shut it all down" and maybe we can all get back to some form of a normal life sooner rather than later.
