They are running them through a drive through on Acton road in Vestavia like cattle. You just drive up to the window and they take a swab from your mouth. Takes 4 hrs to determine if you have it.
Not sure I would trust as every major lab, CDC, and WHO have said 3-5 days at best to get results.

Their test is FDA approved. The test costs $150.00 if you dont have insurance. They say they can do up to 10,000 tests per week.

Their test kit is not modeled after the CDC test kit, but the WHO test kit. They are FDA approved test kits. The reason that government testing takes so long is probably because states have to send the tests off to the CDC to be analyzed.

Wasn't even able to create an accurate test. I'd much rather use one from someone else.
