[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quotes below indicate that UDC alone has the ability to process 500 tests a day. How is it possible that this city is only processing 500 to 700 a day?

[quote]Both Nadeau and Ward 4 Councilmember Brandon Todd, who represents 16th Street Heights, say it’s still too early to reopen the city fully and ease social-distancing guidance, given the current prevalence of COVID-19. Todd notes that the District is increasing its free testing capacity, which could help officials get a better handle on the scale of the outbreak.

“We have a testing site just at the line of Ward 4 at [UDC’s] Bertie Backus [campus] and they have the ability to test up to 500 people a day,” he says.[/quote][/quote]

Because the emphasis has been only on testing people showing symptoms. We need to start testing [b]everybody[/b], and it's up to Bowser to make that happen. If she can make a big push to make sure everyone votes absentee in the primary this year -- I just got my ballot in the mail yesterday -- she can come up with a system in which more people get tested. Go door to door. Create some sort of social-media campaign advertising all the free testing sites. Assign people a day and tell them to go then. Something, anything other than "stay home and hope for the best," which seems to be her plan now.[/quote]
