To test during a pandemic, it takes an airline

  • Fighting coronavirus will take millions of tests per day. For Quest Diagnostics, providing timely results takes a little-seen logistics chain that includes couriers, an overnight sorting of bagged specimens - and an airline tying it all together. This is how specimens like covid-19 swabs and blood move from a testing center to a lab for processing using a fleet of vehicles and aircraft. The medical laboratory business is big business: Quest has about 4,000 couriers making 80,000 stops a day, and its own airline of 23 planes serving 63 cities a night. The planes fly all night to scoop up specimens around the country and deliver them to labs so patients and doctors can get results the next day. Read more: wapo.st/3hI0lV8.

    Lot's of $$$ to cash in on. Quest is charging $99 for testing to the public without a dr order. Make money off the sick and scared....medical care in the US. We are so far behind this in my state I no longer see the point. My dr uses xrays and ct scans to eliminate pneumonia due to lack of testing.

    To the Quest pilot who flies past the Cobb's Hill Reservoir about 3 miles east of the Rochester International Airport every night about 10:30 p.m.: Your plane seems awfully low passing over my house (which is on top of the ridge going eastward from the reservoir hill). Are you already on the localizer when you buzz my roof?
