Perhaps we need an open source effort for this? The main obstacle is sample collection and safety handling. given however the demand for testing, maybe a group of scientists could come up with specifications for ad hoc sample testing centers and perhaps recommend best practices and off the shelf products to minimize the risk. There are tons of graduate students who could volunteer and lots of unused pcr machines. It would be far better to organize these bootleggers as an open community sharing their standards rather than each person doing their own setup.
