https://tinyurl.com/wcr9rg3 Timberwolves all-star center Karl-Anthony Towns announced his intentions to donate $100,000 to Mayo Clinic to aid in testing for COVID-19 as the virus wreaks havoc across the globe. “My hope is that we can fight this virus quicker and more efficiently by increasing the testing capabilities and availability and Mayo Clinic’s overall COVID-19 response,” Towns wrote on his Instagram page Sunday. “This is why I will be donating $100K to support these efforts. Thank you to the Mayo Clinic workers and all healthcare workers who are working around the clock to treat us. You are our heroes. We’re all in this together, let’s protect ourselves and the community around us.” Mayo Clinic announced Thursday that it had developed its own testing for the virus. In a statement, the Timberwolves said Mayo Clinic expects the donation to “help increase testing capacity from 200 per day to over 1,000 tests per day in the coming weeks.” “Our team has been working around the clock for the past month to develop a test for COVID-19,” Dr. William Morice II, Mayo Clinic ’s chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, said in the statement. “We are blown away by Karl’s gesture to help us fast-track offering testing to more patients across Minnesota and the nation.” --- Towns 捐赠十万镁给Mayo Clinic，希望协助提升检疫武肺的数量。 院方也预期在未来数周，这笔捐款有助於将筛检能量从每天的200件提升至 1000件。 GJ Karl! --
