Meanwhile at the St. Louis Fed: Deep Down, Aren't We All Just A Little Totalitarian?

From CBS News:

Transcript: James Bullard on "Face the Nation," April 5, 2020
...Bullard:  “You know, I have good news for you, MARGARET, because we have a- there is a solution using available technology today to fix the economic part of this problem. The solution is universal testing. What you want is every single person to get tested every day. And then they would wear a badge like they would at a- after they voted or something like that to show that they’ve been tested. This would immediately sort out who’s been infected and who hasn’t been infected. That would help the health care sector. But it would also help the economy because we could interact with each other with a lot of confidence.”
Or maybe the ones who hadn't been tested could wear the badge. Maybe a little yellow star.
