Thanks for your efforts! Inspiring to see our broader community spring into action.
I was part of a volunteer team that tested 3400 people on Friday/Saturday in Santa Clara country for COVID-19 antibodies [1]. It took a team of 100+ volunteers 10 hours / day just to collect samples.
Stanford, for example, has plenty of automated testing capacity, and even reagents. IMHO, the limiting factors are not that we need new tests, but rather we need (1) lighter regulations (2) funding to buy supplies and (3) massive manpower to scale-up drive through testing
