Dear Matt, I hope you're well. I know you're quite in the loop but just wanted to give you a quick update on the covid
testing and symptom checking protocol. I think we're good on pricing - we have made the concessions required to bring
us in line (or below) all of the competitors. We also have a call this on Thursday with the clinical folks to make sure they
understand the science that's being deployed here. Just a little background - we have been using an RT PCR saliva test
all across the United States for the past year and a half and it is by far the most sensitive and specific test out there
(partly because it's saliva and not dependent on someone getting the right sample from the upper nose). We are a local
company and would LOVE to be a part of the solution for the city. Will you please let me know if there are any questions
or concerns that you may have. Thank you again for everything. pedram

hi Matt, Hope you're well. We had our clinical team, including Dr. Anne Wylie from Yale, give a presentation to your
clinical team yesterday. I think everything went well. I really hope the science and the economics all make sense now.
Would you please let me know If you need anything else. Thanks again for everything. pedram
