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.
There was testing that was NOT part of the research study too. It is my understanding that the people doing the testing are waiting for more tests to come. I think if you feel sick you should see your doctor or an urgent care.
