Behind the scenes of the rush to create mass Covid testing programs
overnight SWAB is the story of how BioReference
Laboratories--working with no roadmap, no federal guidance or
support, and no prior pandemic experience--established processes to
test every imaginable segment of the American public. BioReference
rose to national prominence as the "first" on many COVID testing
frontiers: New York' s first drive-through testing site; the
exclusive provider for the NBA "Bubble"; the exclusive testing
provider for the NFL; the first to perform testing for New York
City public schools; testing for the first cruise line (Royal
Caribbean) to sail when the CDC order was lifted; the first to test
thousands of fans for an NFL playoff game; and the first to develop
large scale testing programs for testing thousands of people within
one hour of special events. SWAB is the story of how Dr. Jon Cohen
and his thousands of employees worked around the clock to create
bespoke COVID mass testing programs from scratch literally
overnight, addressing a series of seemingly insurmountable
obstacles in the process. It is a case study of crisis leadership,
and a visceral, relatable read for anyone who felt a cotton swab
almost reach their brain while taking a Covid-19 test.
