These devices are already in doctor’s offices around the country. If you’ve ever had your GP give you an in-office Flu test, if might have been this device that ran the test. Abbott acquired the device/technology when they bought Allere a few years back. The comment on 50,000 tests would refer specifically to the test kit itself, using the existing network of devices that are already available.

That was what I feared. Even a small country of say 10M will need to test and re-test a significant part of the population over the coming year. Anything that won’t scale to several hundred million tests after summer isn’t very interesting. Like that device from a few days ago that could test 1000 people in a day...on 100 machines.
