RE:Testing revenus will continuAgreed. My university is requiring non vaccinated people to be tested twice weekly or those who do not disclose their status. A recent survey that went out indicated people were not comfortable disclosing their personal information. As of now it is PCR testing but that could change. Waterloo is using rapid antigen testing twice weekly for those who are not or will not disclose vaccination status. I don't know who they are getting their tests from but it goes to show testing is in fact increasing as these schools were online last year and required 0 testing.

So now testing is voluntary in companies and only a small minority of people test themself once or twice a week. The solution for non vaccinated people (already discussed in MEDIAS) will be to implement mandatory tests. Random test will still be perform on vaccinated people in some industries.
Testing will clearly continu to be a good source of revenus for DM and provide margin to invest in R&D and other AI projects.
