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".
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.

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.

Ah geez, oh man, but our facility just isn't rated for that.
