Maybe we can go help out with this testing thing for a couple of weeks until all of this blows over.
And then we'll go back to sepsis.
Yes, yes.
And so it all happened quite quickly from a lot of me saying, no, no, no, this is not going to be a thing.
Don't worry about it.
So I was in my apartment in San Francisco looking at some data that I think was on Twitter.
And I was like, oh, crap.
If this continues at this rate, this is going to be way more substantial than people realize.
And so this was probably mid-February.
And so then I started to reach out about setting up testing capacity to, well, first of all, we had the problem of finding a lab license.
because I just sold the lab license.
And so we didn't have a lab anymore that was capable of running these kind of tests.
We had a test.
So our chief scientific officer at Curative had, in his spare time, developed a COVID test.
And one of the things they'd done at a previous company is they developed one of these flu tests and just offered it to employees to make them feel better.
And so he said, hey, can I develop a COVID test?
I don't think it'll be very useful, but it might make our employees feel good.
And it's like a good training exercise for the team.
And so they had worked on, through January and the early part of February, a COVID test that they'd been developing basically in their spare time in evenings and in weekends.
And so then when everything started to really take off, we actually already had the test.
