Re: [tg] Berkshires covid opinions solicited

I feel more comfortable with daily testing. My expectation is that tests 
are available in bulk for much less than people can get three tests 
(though if that replies travelling to Europe, maybe not usefully so), in 
which case I would suggest having tests included in the dance fee (and 
raising the price if necessary to do that). That said my insurance 
apparently still has tests for a dollar a test (not very many and not to 
share, but), so possibly both parts of that are wrong.

I feel like the more meaningful metric is "what fraction of the per-person 
cost is it".

Anyway, I guess I think that if the dance is getting like normal drugstore 
test prices, might as well have everyone supply their own; if it can get 
significantly better prices, it should supply tests for everyone and roll 
them into the dance fee.
