Saying that we could do it with no detail is meaningless. It adds zero new information.

How long would it take to ramp up production by 4x? Have we identified which manufacturers have capacity that could be reconfigured and how long that will take?

How long from pulling the trigger to getting to 4x.

Same set of questions for labs and other materials to process the tests.

Statements like this are meaningless.
