Everyone may already know this, but I don’t think testing is going to be an issue any longer and turnover time will continue to decrease.

As an example, hospitals are generating their own tests.

Friend of mine’s hospital has their in house test down to about 7 hr turnover time.

Hoping the testing will be a good help especially once we get out of this initial surge. Will be better able to deal with the second wave and quickly quarantine those that need it.

That's good.

We need to get to a point where virtually anyone who wants a test can get one easily.

We need to get past this bullshite of having to have severe symptoms and/or being old to get a test.

As of two days ago, it was estimated that the US daily capacity would move beyond 100,000 test per day this weekend. This still only tells us part of the story and serological test capacity needs to increase at a similar pace. Then the combo of diagnostic and serological testing can start clearing large chunks of people that can then return to normal life. Hopefully, this can be combined with treatment techniques that can shorten the duration of the illness

That data will also allow researchers to pin down the true CFR. This combo should allow for a return to normal life or at least the opening up of large portions of the country.
