It’s 50 million tests a day not 50,000!,,

Quoting right from the article (you can scroll back up and read it yourself):

“The majority of these tests have been sent to outbreak hotspots and we've asked that customers prioritize front-line health care workers and first responders. We're currently manufacturing 50,000 tests per day, plan to increase ID NOW manufacturing capacity to 2 million tests a month by June and are working to expand beyond that.”<\i>

Now that I've highlighted and underlined the number, do you still see 50 million per day, or 50 thousand per day?

So once they've ramped up to manufacturing 2 million tests per month:

330,500,000 citizens / 2,000,000 tests/month = 165.25 months, or 13.77 years to test us all once. And this is why they've "asked that customers prioritize front-line health care workers and first responders." (another quote right from the article you can scroll back and read for yourself)

We're not all getting tested, not any time soon anyway.
