HAPPY STORY ALERT: @UW @UWVirology has developed it's own #COVID19 test & expects to be testing 1k-1.5k people per day by the end of the week.
Preparation began @ end of 2019, *just in case* it reached U.S.
That decision will save lives.
Go Dawgs.

They have plans to ramp up testing capacity "substantially beyond" the 1,000-1,500 per day should demand require it.
Seek to move towards a "single swab requirement" which will save resources.
