    Close refi on Monday, start new refi on Tuesday... what then?

    coronavirus

    Typically, tests have to be FDA approved.The CDC's first batch of test turned out to be faulty and the FDA expedited their process at the end of Feb. LabCorp and others were supposed to start supplying tests (only if ordered by a Doc) this week. So, testing is probably picking up now, but we...
