I am struck by the equivocation on testing and I am wondering if Dr. Holohan is worried that people will have a false sense of security if they were tested on their way into the country. In the context of the information he has given, we were at low levels during the summer months, with 25% of cases associated with foreign travel, yet people could come in from red zone countries, essentially go about their business freely and there was no testing at our ports or airports. If every individual since March had a PCR test coming into the country, we would have been in a better position to manage our Covid-19 threat but Dr. Holohan is not saying that today. I wonder why.
