‘bout a month back I had to get tested prior to a routine screening procedure. I was neither symptomatic nor did I have a known or suspected infection.  Are you saying that the test I took was not authorized by the FDA?

Company gave us all $1000 tax free to furnish our home offices. I used it to upgrade my workroom with a new table and shelves and buy myself a new monitor which I use on my personal computer. “Dual-use” as they say.
