The Chinese do something similar in airports when testing for explosives. They swab multiple people‘s luggage at the same time, pen them for a minute while they run the gas chromatograph, then let the entire group proceed.

The RNA they are searching for can come from multiple sources and from the past. Tests are iffy at best

This. Also herding symptomatic people together at testing centers compounds the problem. Especially given that there is no specific clinical course unique to Covid 19.

This is a great idea but you can do it even better if you take 2 swabs from each patient at the beginning, one for the pool and one for individual retesting, they probably thought of that but the article doesn’t explain it.

THIS IS PERFECT! AND MANY RESEARCH LABS WITH PCR MACHINES (THE MACHINE USED FOR THE TEST) ARE BEING SHUTTERED. WE MUST GRANT THEM EMERGENCY LICENSES TO PROCESS CLINICAL SAMPLES TO REDUCE THE BACKLOG OF TESTS!

Testing has placed political optics over practical isolation and treatment of Covid 19 symptoms. If a patient shows up with critical signs isolate and treat the symptoms. If they are not critical they need to be in self quarantine.
