Immunity cant be boosted in a few weeks time. It will take a lot more time than that. Even if a good person can get Covid and can spread it on to other patients so testing is the only way we can isolate patients. The patients are not left out once they test positive.
The patient who are tested positive are not just tested once. For example: Kanika Kapoor was tested almost 6 times.
Several gathering has happened : Tablighi Jamaat Tirupati gathering, some funeral gathering, aatunkal pongala gathering in kerala. There were even people who went out on Janta curfew which was meant to keep people at home. All of these are seriously wrong but we cant stop testing because of them.
Its good for our body to eat food to boost our immunity especially while we are staying home but we cant replace testing.
Hopefully we get a cure soon though.
I partially agree with you, but the nations where it stood successful are,....
Less population, follow-up strict orders - Kanoon, first world countries ( even, at one time, poor SK had improved its GDP ( after Korean war ) and rank, life expectancy age and all, a lot ...)
Sure, testing helps a lot to isolate the required-needy and curing procedure in particular humans, quarantining the right ones only,.... ( Hey, but what about the Virus already out there on Railings and common press buttons and surfaces,... you still can't allow free run for all Corona negatives ! ( Also,.. when India says 3 feet apart distance than 6 feet ( West ) , it also knows its space limitations over the road's length and width availability.... In a non-following order nation, , for such a fast spreading contagious disease, nation with crowds and carods of refugees on the roads and expensive test kits, how far it is wise to consume them all ( Kits ) over all street persons,.. ( whom we even do not know, that by the time, the test results come , they will already have infected, who were negative before ... ) Hope, few simple and inexpensive kits out like Litmus pregnancy test,.. etc , can be the only solution,..... if concerned over testing and testing,...
Also just came to know the symptoms also now changes its colors now,... ! Antibodies also plays its game by giving tricky results, as due to the antibodies developed by the body, the tests have started coming positive, untruthfully,...
I think once the cure/vaccine or say,..at least 60-70% effective working medicines are out,. it will over-shine and superseded the testing, as now we have cure rather,... hence, who shouts of having infected with proper signs and symptoms , we give all attentions to them,... rather than testing all 130+ million lots, and while properly following lockdown, the virus out there on surfaces must have died by that time, from roads, railing, Bus-train-plane's seats and handles, ATM and elevator buttons and computer keyboards,..... etc.
