Can anyone use the headlines to point out that we’re not talking about cardboard boxes of tests? We’re talking complex, expensive machines that were in short supply.

This. The tests we are talking about needed to be processed, these are not the rapid tests people got for at home use (which weren't even available until late 2020 anyway)

Yes, this. My thoughts exactly.

The article does state they were “Abbott Point of Care Covid test machines.” So yeah, equipment, not “tests.” Confusing post and headline.
