Since we're all talking anecdotes 3 emps in my shop were able to get tested in 915, 1 w/ symptoms and the other two because they were riding around in the truck with the first guy. They got the test right away at a local health center, this was about 2 weeks ago (all negative).
TBH I don't get the apparent gravity of the testing issue, particularly at this stage. Obviously I'd like to test everyone that sneezes and quarantine the +s, but I think we know that asymptomatic spread is a big issue (by both those who will and those who will not remain asymptomatic). Also let's say we're testing errbody (meaning asymptomatic) and I get tested and am infected by someone else at the clinic, but I (correctly) test negative (let's go to the football game/concert/coronavirus protest!). But now I'm positive and will very soon be shedding the virus. So how often do we retest? One test doesn't really tell you much (I don't have it right this second... Oops now I've got it). Also, isn't the point of the testing what we do w/ the data? In SK they were able to track/notify/control in a way that isn't feasible and wouldn't be as effective here for geographic and murica reasons.
So let's assume we could wave a wand and test X number tomorrow (w/ X being whatever number of whatever population/demographic the surl deems need testing). Then what? (obligatory 1. test 2... 3. profit)
edit: shit rpspeed beat me to it (MA antibody test story)
IMO antibody tests data is more important now
