Federalism Is an Asset
The U.S. is designed to be centralized and decentralized at the same time, which is exactly the structure we need right now to fight COVID-19.

This paper tries to fill this gap with rough and preliminary but easily explicable calculations. These suggest that, depending on what tracing technology is used in conjunction with testing, at least millions and possibly hundreds of millions of tests per day will be needed.
