Yeah, I agree that there are a lot of people and industries which should be prioritized above football. That's why I don't really like the idea of using public health capacity for football players. 5% of the state's public health testing capacity should not be taken up by 0.03% of the state's population. The only way I would feel it's acceptable is if major donors/boosters (or team owners for pro teams) provided funding for the additional capacity needed for athletics. The only reason I discussed it at all is to help people understand that it's not an insane increase in capacity necessary to do these tests relative to what is being done now.
I think it's reasonable that teams would have their own private testing infrastructure, just like they have their own team doctors, physical therapists, etc. As long as the materials are available and the money works out, I think that is how they will do it. Then, we don't have to take tests out of the public health system.
As for public policy I agree we should continue to increase testing capacity and the ability to contact trace, etc. I just see that as a separate issue. No problem about the mixup on testing numbers, I just wanted to make sure you had all the info.
