How Could this be?

5. if a working environment..

say like the White House tests people on a regular basis, and isolates those who test positive, then traces those the person was in contact with, does it not contain the virus, so that the business being done continues? What does 'closing the economy' have to do with testing and tracing? Why is there some either/or implied? Why dismiss something out of hand, that this country has not tried, but is what scientists agree is the best practice. Many of those small businesses are gone, and will not be coming back. I don't get how people disregard the state of Main Street before covid-19. The economy was great, if you worked 2-3 jobs to keep up, or like yourself have a cushy job. Homelessness, and hunger can be temporary conditions, while dead is dead.
