Something about this reminds me of those "Win free Iron Bowl tickets" things the police do to catch guys not paying child support.

"Come on down to this 'Lab' and get your Coronavirus screening! Especially divorced men who have children!"

One of my Air Force friends had a conference call last night and was told there are 5 confirmed cases at Gunter in Montgomery. They are not wanting to announce it yet.
Some of his department at Maxwell have already been quarantined after returning from Italy.

There was a death from what they suspect was Coronavirus at Baptist East in Montgomery. Supposedly a 42 year old air force member. Also had pneumonia.

Haven't seen anything about it officially but one of my cousins is an RN that was exposed. She was sent home for self quarantine for two weeks.

Apparently to give parents time to make arrangements.

And give teachers time to put lessons together to send home.


I was told today that the two drive thru testing facilities in Bham are only testing for flu and respiratory illnesses, not Coronavirus. A local doctor told me this. Not sure how accurate that is, but seems he would know.

The Assurance Scientific Labs Drive thru testing has specifically said they’re doing COVID-19 testing and they developed their own test kit and got it approved by the FDA?

I know that’s what they said. A local doctor told me something different. Didn’t get a chance to ask him how he knew, and it’s very possible he was just spreading something someone else told him.

Well, given that what they’re doing is widespread knowledge. I find it hard to believe that they can be lying about what they say they are doing and get away with it.
