Testers or Respirators?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_testing

A lot of interesting articles on Covid-19 testings.
We should not worry that the world will end because testing will reduce the lockdown and quarantine costs once these tests are fully produced.

We have the weapon so now we need to produce them in large numbers.

Which is more important? Testing or Respirators?
My opinion is testing because it will stop lockdown and quarantine thus saving our economy. It will also stop the spread and therefore lesson the need for respirators.
Unfortunately, not many factories can produce testers, so we should convert as many factories to producing test kits, and the rest to respirators.

 “We had a true negative rate of 100% — zero false positives,” It is not sensitive but if used properly and well calibrated, it can be used as front-line tests. Its antibody tests can also be used for other purposes, to detect those who are immune but this needs careful consideration and further tests to ensure that their bodies are really no longer infective.     https://www.nature.com/articles/d41587-020-00010-2     NEWS 23 March 2020 Update 07 April 2020 Update 06 April 2020 Update 01 April 2020 Fast, portable tests come online to curb coronavirus pandemic Testing kits delivered by courier and digital tools combine to battle the COVID-19 outbreak. ...
