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 捐贈十萬鎂給Mayo Clinic，希望協助提升檢疫武肺的數量。 院方也預期在未來數週，這筆捐款有助於將篩檢能量從每天的200件提升至 1000件。 GJ Karl! --
