Just putting it out there - I believe our *actual* target has to be >50 million tests a day...

I think these factors will drive demand, there are no limits on innovation, and central coordination not essential. While we don't have RDTs currently, I'm very optimistic we'll see the first generation within a month or two. Others - more accurate ones - will come and can scale.
