Yes, this. I remember early doors it was reported that S Korea had freely available testing, including drive in ones that people could just rock up to.
Willing to bet my hat that precisely no Korean will rock up for a test so they can go and see their uncle at the weekend though. Required capacity is contextual.

Details on hat please, before I go all bellingcat to prove you wrong...

Lots of Koreans will go for a test so they can go and play golf though!
The example of South Korea is really interesting as they REALLY didn't have things under control for a while (superspreaders at mega churches) but they got a handle on it quickly. But while SK has a similar population size to the UK, it's different in almost every other way. For all the kpop etc, it's an extremely traditional society that lives on a war footing. In any case, it's not come out of it unscathed as its economy is fucked (partially self-induced thanks to trade war with Japan). OT ramble over...

I'm no statistician, but I can easily believe that negative test results, along with some basic information of who took them, has value in modelling in any case (or at least, I don't believe that only positive or symptomatic tests have value).
I assume the Moonshot stuff is rubbish with a snappy title (like 'Star Wars'?). It was reported that the technology doesn't exist to do it, ergo it's not going to happen in anything like a suitable timescale.
Whoever proposed it should have been shut down at that point - at my place of work if I suggested something for an almost immediate delivery that we not only couldn't use (licence / supplier or whatever), but also that didn't exist then that conversation would go no further.
