Ok my partner pointed out that I was attributing to ignorance what should probably be attributed to malice. Maybe they're not testing regularly because they don't want to know. Both sides are all in on "can't have cases if you don't test". If JR Brandon is asymptomatic, who cares, appearances are all that matters. If he tests positive though, even if asymptomatic, that news might leak, and that's bad for the campaign, and bad for the stock market.
