...and why in the world the US of all places has excess testing capacity in the first place...is a discussion for another time.

I think the important thing to distinguish here is the test collection capacity and the test processing capacity. For the latter, we are able to outsource, and apparently at least someone in the US has spare processing capacity.

The collection capacity constraint really is a bigger challenge for us, I think, and it's what drives the long lines and lack of available reservations at the testing centres.
