Given the high prevalence the disease has reached in many OECD countries, this requires the expansion of TTSI inputs to scales and with a speed that have little precedent (Siddarth and Weyl, 2020). As scarcity of testing supplies is expected to remain during the build-up to a surge, authorities will need to allocate these tests within and across localities to minimize loss of life. This paper documents a preliminary framework that aims to provide such guidance to multiscale geographies, in conjunction with our previous recommendations. Given unfortunate limits in current testing capacity, we describe a testing and tracing regime in which orders of magnitude fewer resources can be used to suppress the disease. Such suppression should be rapidly scaled in low-prevalence areas (within and across regions) to the extent that those areas can be insulated from other areas. In particular, if travel restrictions are used to allow asynchronous sup-pression, and if logistics permit the use of mobile resources, a smaller number of tests per day may be required. At the same time, vulnerable communities and essential workforces must be protected across regions, as prescribed in Phase I of the Roadmap to Pandemic Resilience (Allen et al., 2020). %I Rapid Response Initiative %C Edmond J.
