      This should be daily testing, with a rapid test. It's quick and easy, 15 minutes in the morning. And since testing is an option, this allows people still adamant about not getting vaccinated to opt out while protecting those around them. Imperfect, but nothing is.https://twitter.com/business/status/1456242840028258304 …

      JUST IN: The Biden administration has issued a federal rule mandating Covid-19 vaccinations or at least weekly testing for workers at U.S. companies with 100 or more employees https://trib.al/Th7gy6v

      It is but it is also expensive in the US. We need the price of rapid testing to come down significantly so it can be used for public health purposes as you propose.

      Yes. This would need to be matched with a policy of abundant and cheap or zero-cost rapid tests. (What's the actual cost as a strip—especially in bulk form for workplaces? Certainly less than 50 cents, no? The fancy $$$ packaging is unnecessary.) https://twitter.com/nseftor/status/1456253764638289927?s=20 …

          Rapid tests are only way to alleviate concerns of infecting fam & friends over the holidays. For those at high-risk/their families, it’s our only hope of spending time together in 2021. It appears neither supply ⬆️ nor price ⬇️ will materialize before end of the year.
