Chuckle!
How you desperately cling on to your fast sinking ship.
It's not 566,000 tests. It's 566,000 rapid test equipment from Abbott Labs, that goes through the tests and gives results in just 13 minutes (a vast improvement over previous test equipment). It's doing over 4 tests an hour, 24/7.
At that rate., the 566,000 units will do over 5 million tests every single day when fully deployed.
What is the population of the entire country again?
And that does not even include the other testing equipment that have carried out over 3 million tests already (far more tests than any other country), with more testing equipment pouring in every day.
You wanna try again?

Yes, thanks for confirming my post #16

Nope, it is “tests” not “test reading machines”:

And yes the US is waaaaay behind on testing...due to CDC and FDA mess ups. This should have been happening in mid-Feb..

It's 566,000 test cartridges. The cartridge needs to be inserted into a test machine, which fortunately there are thousands of.
