Personally, I would do (and have done) certain kinds of work without monetary compensation because I want to see it done, or because I think there's some other upside. However, I probably wouldn't ask that of LabCorp in this circumstance, because what I want from institutions providing testing is scaling up while providing an effective product/service. Not getting revenue makes that considerably harder. Public subsidies might make a lot of sense, though, especially to the extent that everyone wins the broader/deeper test coverage is, but not everyone has a disposable $100.
