MEMPHIS, Tennessee
Loads of resources in the fight against the coronavirus landed at the Memphis Air National Guard Base at Memphis International Airport Thursday night.
Airmen from the 164th Airlift Wing delivered 500,000 COVID-19 swab tests. It's the second time in three weeks the mobility command transported that number of swabs to help test people across the United States.
The swabs are produced by an Italian company, which continues to produce them to satisfy its country and global requirements.
Where are they going?????

(6,823 posts)in another thread there is information on tests being confiscated in Memphis by Jared's task force because they are fake tests.
That thread says they came in on FedEx.
Something's up/.
