Achieving a sustained 170-fold increase in test capacity sounds very difficult! On the other hand, the social and economic benefits of doing it rather than a year+ of on-and-off lockdowns would be extremely large. — PolitiTweet.org

To the extent that relatively low-cost interventions (wearing cloth masks, white collar workers avoid the office, cancel live sports audiences and big festivals) stay in place you could presumably get by with somewhat fewer tests. — PolitiTweet.org

This is assuming the tests have a 20% false negative rate. Obviously if the tests are less accurate than that it doesn’t work as well, and if they’re more accurate it works better. But the model isn’t based on utopian ideas about test accuracy. https://t.co/ueh2HNpm8w — PolitiTweet.org
