Testing daily is science fiction right now. My assumption is that they check the temperature and that's about it.

  It’s possible with the 5 minute Abbott machines that are starting to be distributed

    Those are meant for doctor's offices because they only do the tests one at a time. They wouldn't be useful for testing an entire group of workers every day unless they have dozens of them. The problem is that the US is only getting 5500 of them.

    The ones that they're making at a rate of 1000 per state per week? They're an extremely scarce resource better used elsewhere.

    Makes you wonder if you could pool together a bunch of low-risk samples, and only re-test if the pool comes back positive.

      Someone mentioned this before, but the problem is the tests might not work due to the dilution of the samples.

      Sounds like a binary search problem, problem is we would need larger samples >:)

  It's possible just ensuring the food is hot food that is cooked might mitigate problems.
