They have 1st year med students administering the swab test. Normally they would be in class but are now limited to web-based learning. This was according to the guy who administered our test.

So UF has a test kit that they are comparing to test kits that are approved. The UF kits have a shorter result time, and are running the tests at a controlled environment at UF labs.

They use those without symptoms as the control group, to have a base line. Those who have symptoms are in the other control group.

None of these people are entitled what they are doing is helping research and what can be done to control the virus.

The volunteers are UF 3rd year medical students, administering the swab test. Normally they would be in a hospital in surgery or on the floor.
