- ejstronge 7y agoWhy do you state that our testing capacity has been maxed out? My understanding is that factors like the availability of swabs and the availability of medical personnel to administer tests are a bigger bottleneck than qPCR machines.
- cheriot 7y agoI don't have any insight into the why. Only that the growth rate in tests per day has slowed to an almost stagnant level.

I think adding in a new technique would only exacerbate the mismatch between test supply and test utilization. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01068-3 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01068-3
