Does anyone have actual information on why we’re NOT doing random testing? I don’t mean guesses, I can make the obvious guesses myself so no need to type them again in the replies. Has there been an attempt? If yes, what was the problem? Is there an effort underway?

enough testing throughput to justify testing away from the front lines yet?

Even just a random test of 5,000 New Yorkers would be very helpful.

Been wondering this myself. Even a state by state random with like n=2000 in each state would get us some much needed info! Esp if we used antibody test + active infection test!

(I mean that would be 100k if in every state but I’m saying even if only some state la could do smaller studies would be super useful if done with random sample of pop)

Isn't that what this is? They were hoping to get 1 million to participate https://bit.ly/2QX7a9H as heard on

Some consortium of med and public health schools could conceivably carry this out.

Limited resources. Test availability is limited. PPE for collecting samples is limited. In some states even lab space and trained staff would be limited.
