I certainly don't see anywhere near that level of demand on an ongoing basis, particularly after COVID vaccines hit the scene and we develop some herd immunity. Only 3+M cases reported worldwide now, and you're projecting 100M a month?
However, there are only 3+M cases reported with extremely limited testing available. What multiple should we apply to that 3+M number to account for the abysmal lack of effective testing worldwide? Might it be 10x or 100x?
Now, let's agree that those 3+M cases are the product of the most extreme global social distancing experiment in the history of mankind (and I'm not exaggerating).
The world's economies will not survive much longer if we maintain this social distance. So, when we do all go back to work and interact with each other again, how will this extremely communicable disease grow from that current 3+M number?
Also, based on the link in my post about vaccines, achieving herd immunity may be impossible.
