It makes no sense whatsoever.
If you started tomorrow morning, April 15 2020, and tested 1,830,650 people each and every day including Saturdays and Sundays, you would complete testing the entire population (estimated at 329,517,000 as of 10 minutes ago) on October 12 2020. How do you handle the folks during that time that tested negative, and subsequently were infected at a later date?
Even if the test would only cost $25 each, and I guarantee you they cost a hell of a lot more than that, you're talking about a minimum cost of $45,766,250.00 per day, every day, for 6 months or a total of over 8 billion dollars LOL.
$8billion is a drop in the ocean compared to the money being thrown around. We already are sending out 50 times that just in the $1200/person checks.
Sure it would take time but by quickly isolating those with the disease, you would limit the spread while people continue to work and keep the economy generating the money to pay for all this.
The way it's going right now we will still be in lockdown this time next year with no sign of an end.
