It was for a RESEARCH STUDY.

We did it to support the RESEARCH they are doing. If you were in the REASEARCH STUDY you received a different test than the clinical test. Part of the RESEARCH as it was described was to understand how many asymptomatic cases may be out there.

Hopefully the results of the RESEARCH STUDY will better inform UF and others on how we might address this pandemic.

I think it's great that UF engaged the community in this effort. If you don't think UF should have been undertaking a research study you should take that up with them.
