I am not even sure what that testing accomplishes other than just
maintaining the stats.

I think probably the most important reason is to catch people with
mild or no symptoms early, and get them into quarantine before they
infect a lot of others. That would be especially valuable for people
like health care workers or first responders who have to deal with the
public routinely.

It's really unfortunate to see these issues get politcized as pro
Trump or anti Trump. It detracts from the very real problems that
have to be dealt with and solved.

Then you would have to test everyone once a week or so.
I agree nursing home workers and first responders should be tested ...
