30m tests a day. $2b a week. The controversial idea to solve America's virus crisis

Stay up-to-date on the coronavirus outbreak

At least 100,000 people would also need to be recruited as contact tracers to swiftly deal with any outbreaks.Chinese health authoritiesChinese officials say they managed to test nearly 1.5 million Wuhan residents in a single day by batch testing. The small Nordic nation has just 364,000 residents in total, while there are more than 328 million people living in the US.it would be "even easier" to replicate in America.

The Paul Romer proposal shows these extra tests would pay for themselves in a few short weeks. Fantastic idea. Exactly what we should be doing so we can be done with lockdown and distancing in no time.

Lol, America 30m tests a day and India 29m tests in two weeks, who are these people trying to kid, as if there would be 60m test kits available in the next month, give us a B.S break.

incredible. and just who gets all that money? people are being conned with this nonsense and will be costing them dearly....

That means between 20 and 30 million tests would need to be performed each day. == 40000yen×30000000 people=120000000? Japan costs 40,000 yen per PCR test 40000yen= about 373.13usa$

Test as much as you like without social distancing and isolation you won’t ever stop the spread. COVID 19 can’t spread itself!

Or we could just send a few billion $ in stimulus to dead people!😂

It'd be cheaper to get him tested. Maths. English. Anything

Best way to solve the US Virus crisis is to sack Trump.

RonShamgar You’re disgusting. If they increase testing, you complain about money. Less testing, you complain about healthy and safety. Disgusting.

Bit late now I think...

Given Trump wants fewer tests to improve his stats, there's no way this idea will float

If testing alone can solve the problem...

Someone's bitterness & ugliness is on show again, sad 😢.
