So here is interesting news that might just piss you off

16. I just saw a news report about brand new SUNY Chancellor Dr. Jim Malatras being in Syracuse today

to sing the praises of the new pooled saliva testing developed at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse and being used to test Syracuse University and SUNY students with quick results:

They take about a dozen saliva samples, rather than nasal swabs, and test the group for COVID-19 at once.

“Each swab was used by one student at a different campus," said Dr. Frank Middleton, a professor and researcher at Upstate Medical University. "This particular pool comes from Onondaga Community College.”

Middleton will test the group, and if it comes back negative, none of the 12 people have the coronavirus.

That saves labs valuable time, supplies, and money. Upstate will be able to conduct at least 12,000 more tests a day, according to the New York State Health Department.

P.S. I know Dr. Frank Middleton. Great guy!
