Description of CME Course
We now recognize that a greatly expanded capacity for mass screening will be essential to managing life and economic activity in an ongoing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic. We also know that identifying asymptomatic people with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection requires frequent testing and results that are available quickly enough to act. Rapid antigen tests that can do this have been developed and their production is increasing, but the scale of capacity needed for effective screening is truly daunting. For context, consider that the National Institutes of Health estimates that the US could achieve capacity to run 42 million tests per week in 2021.2 Then consider that there are roughly 50 million children attending US public schools alone; even once-weekly screening in these schools would consume all the diagnostic and screening tests we can produce.
