In a best-case scenario, what is the timeline for testing, widescale manufacture, and rollout including “last mile” education to end users for the saliva tests? Is it achievable within a quarter? 2020? Beyond?

What’s the costs/benefits versus the temperature gun method already being used in Asia?

I fear that “perfect” or “near-perfect” solutions such as daily saliva testing would be potentially unrealistic for widespread rollout in an effective amount of time. Could we perhaps consider prioritize the superior daily testing solutions for high-priority environments like first responders and hospitals and nurses while reserving the “less-than-perfect” solutions such as what’s being done in Asia for environments with other essential workers, at least until scale-up hurdles can be surmounted?
