The testing capacity: how many tests per day a country can buy and carry out?

Consider that Abbott announces on their web site, as a major achievement, that they plan to achieve production of 50,000-70,000 tests per day. This is very little for a country as USA, with 300 millions people. The overall testing capacity of USA would not enough to eradicate the virus from Singapore.
No point to know what instruments/equipments(ID now, m2000) Abott using. Employers when interviewing dun want to know that u got such great knowledge in such technologies. And the software user manuals is not just a couple of pages, a lot more. It contains ALL IN ONE PDF FILE the checklist reports, components, equipments drawings etc.

Also Abott can anyhow get a lowly educated worker lowly paid to operate such instruments/equipment. Technician can train the workers, no big deal even if they are not street-smart and poor hands-on or whatever.

It's good that u do a bit of research, however I will not be going in that direction. And i am not sure how the ID NOW, m2000 is useful. If u really want to mention it, then u need to provide a useful info. Not everyone here are from pharmaceutial background.

But if u want to write entertainment/jokes, then u can write more. More ppl will be interested bec these knowledge learnt in the end throw in the dustbin. No one would want to be hungry for knowledge for the sake of passion nowadays, since got economic uncertainties.
