    I am a bit worried about how well we'll handle COVID-19 with the cost of testing w/o insurance, and people's reluctance to take two weeks off of work.

Testing only matters if you're trying to track it. The era of tracking is probably a week from closing I'd wager. Your model is 2009 Swine Flu wherein something like a billion people had it, it was enough like any other flu that nobody cared, and people just got sick.
