[<<The issue of early discharge of asymptomatic Covid-19 patients without testing and reduced testing was fiercely debated in the Gujarat high court on Friday (May 22) and *the advocate general said that if everybody is tested, 70% of tested people would be found positive* [emphasis added] and it would create fear psychosis among citizens.>>

(Excerpted from sl. no. II. below.)

So, the carriers, and thereby potential transmitters, are discharged so that they can spread the disease!!!?

<<In a rare instance, the Gujarat High Court brought up a real-life incidence - the foundering of Titanic ship in April 1912 - to stress upon the need for the governments and society to collectively respond to the distress amid the prevailing global pandemic of Covid-19.
Passing the judgement in its suo-moto petition against the Gujarat government on Friday, the High Court, citing the Titanic example, underscored the need for an unshaken determination to help "most vulnerable" in the "unprecedented times of chaos, uncertainty and extreme stress." There could be numerous excuses to run away from the responsibility to help a neighbour. "But whoever can find it in their hearts to rise above all these frivolous excuses will always be remembered fondly in history," the bench of Justices JB Pardiwala and Ilesh J Vora said in their order.>>
