Perspective on the timeline and numbers Here's a perspective on the timeline of the events. We've been discussing for months that Q2 would not show covid testing revenue that much.
----
April 30th
Covid tests kits arrived at the SZLS lab
May 4th - enhanced partnership with PhlebFinders:
doing mostly private testing for families, network of freelancing phlebotomists
May 19th - partnership with UdoTest:
UdoTest are partnered with 30 labs if I remember, and they are trying to focus on rapid testing lately. Not a major source of testing for Stagezero
May 21st - city of Alpharetta
Announced that they are testing 200 people, maybe more to come
Also in these days Ichor Blood services arrived as well.

These partnerships would reflect in my expectations the Q2 numbers for the month of June, about 1000 tests made for the month.
Again, since we are only guessing all the time here, it could be that Mercer asked them to scale up the lab capacity, and when they would be ready, they would send them tests requests according to their capacities. It could explain why they are hiring now as it appears. Also, 1000 tests per day has always been a capacity number, not an operational number.
I am not stating my other explanation, everything is always guessing and abstract information...
One thing for sure, 100 000$ revenue has nothing to do with an order of 250 000 tests for the year, unless they want to spread it on 250 months. I want proofs and clear official statements that things are going in the right direction or not. I have confidence in Tripp's plan, we need to have in-progress insights.
