Two root causes block US testing scale-up
US testing fails to scale because of two distinct problems: a coordination failure along the supply chain (no clear demand signal reaches reagent and test-kit producers, so they won't make fixed-cost investments to repurpose manufacturing) and many small innovations near the consumer that require heavy regulatory engagement to deploy rapidly.

“there has not been a clear demand signal to those parts of the supply chain that we’re going to aim for a really high level of testing like we’re describing. Therefore, there’s a real unwillingness to make the fixed-cost investments to repurpose manufacturing”
