My town is the centerpoint for first in the nation study of community spread of COVID-19.

In a cooperative effort led by @OregonState, about 4,000 non-symptomatic* people (or ~1 in 12 in town) will be tested for the virus in a door-to-door survey.

Specific information about how the TRACE COVID-19 study in Corvallis, OR will be conducted can be found here:

Testing is the key to moving forward. Studying the prevalence of the virus in the community, esp. amongst those without symptoms, is crucial.

The university *vet* school made this possible.

The @OregonState university vet school realized they had all the ingredients needed for the reagent for COVID-19 testing. So in cooperation with the local hospital (yes, the one which has had the pleasure of my company) they banged out enough fluid for 1,000 tests. In 1 hour.
If the vet school in one state university in one fairly small town in Oregon can do that in ONE HOUR...imagine what ALL the vet schools in ALL the much bigger states could accomplish if they worked for...say...10 hours? Or ten days?

Coordination Required.
