You
live in a midwestern city of about 1 million people. The SARS-Cov2
virus entered your community a few months ago, as indicated by a
building influx of patients into local hospitals with symptoms of a
severe respiratory illness indicative of COVID-19. Limited testing
for those individuals who have been hospitalized has been positive
for the virus. In response to diminishing available hospital beds,
you have been tasked to head a community-based screening effort to
help stop the spread of the virus. The Governor has given you
enough money to test 95% of your community with the antigen assay
but only 40% of the community with the RT-PCR assay. Based ONLY on
the information provided in the attached pdf, explain what
community testing program you would implement
