    Why do Americans need everything to be transported on trucks? Why not get the test at a hospital, citizen centre, or health office, process it right there, and get the result in 6 hours?
    Why truck the test kit in paper bags to their house, then truck them to the test facility? Too many trucks!

      Because they don't want to make people stand in line in a Chicago winter for 12 hours at the 1 hospital in a city of 3 million that would be the designated "COVID testing site".

        Set up testing facilities in abandoned department stores. They are like 5 hectares each and one in every other neighborhood in America.

          Ah geez, but the rental fees and liability insurance are just too much, we can't make it work.

            Seems harder to ship millions of tests around than to have people stand in a line. Tests take like 10 seconds each to get a sample from people. Convert a library or school gymnasium into a testing facility. You could even have the testing facility on the back of a truck if you like. Set up a waiting area in warm place, bosh.

      Trucks are simply the most efficient system under capitalism. If a more efficient system could exist, the market would demand it.
