We’ve run ~2.9MM tests so far. I think it’s likely testing capacity will get there by mid to late may. Especially if we find cheaper and faster anti body tests

We’ve run ~2.9MM tests so far. I think it’s likely testing capacity will get there by mid to late may. Especially if we find cheaper and faster anti body tests (which is a huge focus right now).
- ac29 7y agoA bit of context: this is far, far more than any other country - Germany is second with 1.3M tests, and only two other countries have done over a million [0]. Per capita, we're about middle of the pack for well developed countries (excluding very small micro-nations).

- munk-a 7y agoMay sounds pretty reasonable up here in Canada - I'm concerned that the US still isn't ramping up production fast enough though. Trump is... and idiot - yea sure whatevers, but right now he's really doing harm by constantly talking about how close to being over this America is - it is causing a lot of companies that could ramp up production to be more conservative since they're worried they might be left with a lot of debt and a lot of unsalable stock.
