I'll go first.

No question about it. We're having serious problems with testing. Again. 1/ #PIHchat If you work in health care, you know that everyone uses Quest and LabCorp. So when these two private labs are collapsing under the sheer numbers of samples, it affects health facilities all across the country. 2/ #PIHchat
