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.

As at today they are producing 50,000 testing kits every single day that makes it 1.5 million tests a month. That is at right now not in June or July.
2. The US has already conducted 3.1 million tests. That is vastly more than any other country on the planet. It's not like the US only started testing today.
3. In addition to the tests mention in this article, Abbott Labs is also making this portable rapid diagnostic testing equipment that carries out 4 tests per hour. That equipment was shown on Tucker Carlson a couple of nights ago right here:

4. Abbott Labs is just one one company making coronavirus testing equipment. There are at least 10 more firms that I have seen mentioned in the news if not more. that are currently making coronavirus testing equipment

And and soon everyone who needs a test will get it.
You talk like every single person in the 330 population USA has to have a test. THEY DON'T.
Has everyone in the US had an AIDS test for example despite AIDS having been around for close to 40 years? Of course not!
Like any other disease, you get tested when you show symptoms I don't see why hundreds of millions of extremely healthy young men and women should go rushing to hospitals for coronavirus tests.

Good summary re testing and reality of everyone being tested.

We can’t get 100 % of the eligible population to vote. I doubt we will get people with no symptoms taking this.

To me people with underlying conditions should be first in line and notified of the importance of testing.

Minus those who just pay cash we should have the means by hospitals or Medicare/Medicaid to identify those.
