RE:Tests neededExactly, we can’t comprehend the amount of rapid antigen tests the world will be using in the new strategy going forward. After all it is the next strategy if anyone’s been paying attention. Pandemics like this are a learning process and ever changing as time goes on. The change to billions of rapid tests at POC are coming.

What I found most interesting was when they talked about the school system in the U.S. and test needed to screen student properly. There are around 60 million students in the U.S. and if they where to be tested only once a week it would use up all the future antigen tests being produced for the next full year in three weeks. They estimated the need for this type of test to be over 6 billion just for students alone. The U.S. is only 4% of the worlds population, what is the world going to need?
