— Michael LewisThe San Quentin officials sent in one batch of samples, in April, but asked the Biohub to keep mum about it because they were worried that the private testing company that serviced California prisons would be upset. If Quest finds out, they are going to kill our contract, they’d said. That first batch contained no positives for COVID-19, but San Quentin sent no further samples. Later they explained that they didn’t have the time to do the paperwork.
