The U.S. appears to have hardly been able to adequately test its general or

digitally monitor infected folks?
Sounds like a "cart before horse" problem.
Are disaster venture capitalists (Amazon-WaPo included?) now becoming prone to
thinking too much about their own bank accounts whilst in 'home stay
self-isolation'?
Perhaps they ought to instead focus hearts and minds on developing digital
and/or scientific tools 'for the people' starting with testing and medical
equipment (e.g. ventilators).
