Imagine you wake up in the morning, first thing you do is take a swab test. Ten minutes later you have your result, and if it's positive, you self-isolate. If it's negative, you go about your day.

No at-home test exists yet, and we surely aren't producing 300 million tests daily yet, but this should be the target.

Yes that sounds great. We do not have the capacity to make this happen before our hospitals overload and potentially 2.2 million die unless we take containment measures now.

Tests are good. We need containment now if we want them to be useful.

The tests require processing in complicated machines that have limited capacity. This isn’t happening.

It's clear everyone saying "a test for every American!" has never worked with PCR before.
