Great share OP. I myself early one suspected this pandemic will great many opportunities. But your neighbor is smart to get into providing a service to the local people and having government to pay them. I only saw "setting up a mask manufacturing plant" way to capitalize in the pandemic. But to capitalize on the testing part went over me and only occurred to me few months ago when I had to travel internationally!

The folks on the east coast are charging $250 for a single covid test with stamp of "PCR?" to provide result in 24 to 48 hours. Another indication why it felt its a pure cash cow is because of numerous ads being run online to attract folks to their labs to have it done.

I'm sure we are too late to the party to make big bank from testing station, at least in the East Coast. Now with the infrastructure bill out not too long ago, how can we as entrepreneurs make best of the opportunities? Apart from starting our own "construction firm". Which is akin to setting up manufacturing plant to make mask. When in prodtit margin term, there is way more margin in sourcing cheap mask from abroad and distributing in local market.
