While I was recovering, a friend sent me a link to your appearance on a national news show to talk about the spreading virus in our mutual home of Oxford, Mississippi....

Testing sites across the country are seeing hours-long wait times for COVID-19 tests and are advertising results taking between two and 10 days. While there’s no shortage of physical tests, a surge in people looking to get tested can cause delays and long wait times if there aren’t enough people to administer the tests and run them in labs.
