I agree with the sentiment, and have made similar arguments in the past, that we need to be focusing on contagiousness and rapidity of assessment; that all of the specifics of reopening policies and practices are the result of the failure to develop and deploy this sort of testing regime; that this sort of goal would have been a much, much better target for the $10B (or more) deployed in Operation Warp Speed.

There is a criminal chaos actor, and larger political group, operating at the federal level in the US. Entire workflows aimed at actual public health and safety have been disrupted and compromised. It will not be possible to move forward until the chaos is removed from the system.
