HAVE ROADIES (esp. VIP, Merch, Stage Managers) RUN COVID TESTING SITES.

We& #39;re all out of work and we all know how to handle and direct a cranky line of humans.
I& #39;m just going to keep yelling about this. There& #39;s ZERO signage at this testing site. No one directing lines of humans or cars. No one walking the line to tell people what& #39;s up. Any touring crew in America would do this better and the medical staff could then focus on patients
If a touring crew hadn& #39;t gotten their shit together this much after two shows, much less 8 months, they would have all been fired.

We& #39;re hard workers, used to long hours, ever-changing conditions, stress, thanklessness, & we work well in teams.

Oh, and we& #39;re all out of work.
HIRE ROADIES & VENUE STAFFS TO RUN TESTING SITES.

Pay shuttered venues to host testing events or become mobile offices for "the tour managers" of the testing teams & locations.

Theater staff who can get people to their chairs in time for curtains? Hire them to handle lines.
The need & viability of a WPA style program in this country that could address almost complete unemployment in an industry like live music / theater *and* scale up & improve COVID testing seems like an absolute no-brainer to me.
