Yes - by ensuring the education system (both school and continuing adult education) is actually capable of producing residents who are able to follow instructions and is run by competent educationist instead of letting local marginally qualified busy bodies control it. Making instructions easily accessible eg. through a QR on pack linking to video on unmetered network. Widely teaching people how to use QR etc.
In many developed countries with good education systems, most people - even elderly and school students seem to have no problems correctly self administering Covid Rapid Antigen tests which is likely same order of magnitude stressful.
- tsol 5y agoYes but an electronic pregnancy test is cheaper and doesn't require getting congress to agree to pass any laws in improving education nationwide
- maweki 5y agoEspecially women in shitty situation do do those tests in secret in badly lit environments. Of course, education is gonna help and reproductive health and contraception are incredibly important. But up to the point where problems in this department are eradicated, some women will need easy-to-read tests.

Not that I'm not sympathetic but many problems in the US that common people face seem to be either a result of continuation of either hyper-local governance that seems to be a relic of "settling the continent" era OR an extreme form of capitalism that seems to be a relic of the "robber baron" era.
