Promising 10M free tests might be as great as promising free lunches, but is this by 2023 or what?
Sounds like they're still not able to handle their current load: "Public Health Department Director Barbara Ferrer announced 1,541 new confirmed COVID-19 cases, nearly 1,000 more than what was reported the previous day. The large increase is mostly the result of a boost in testing as well as a lag in weekend reporting,"
As of about a week ago (most recent full numbers), LA County has been testing up to about 5,000 per day. At that rate, it will take 2000 days (5.5 years) to get through everyone once. At their current COVID-19 death rate of 47 a day (over past week), .... well, you can do the math.
LA County reports 46% of its deaths are in institutional settings. (SCC 46/107 = 43%)
