A $25 million COVID-19 testing lab built by the state of California is a nightmare of sloppiness, according to a new report.
The report from KOVR-TV in Sacramento includes a comment from an unnamed whistleblower who told the station, “That lab should be shut down because they’re jeopardizing people’s lives.”
The lab opened in Valencia in October as Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom proclaimed its wonders.
“This new laboratory will allow California to ensure its testing capacity is timely, equitable and cost-effective — just when Californians need it most,” he said in a statement.
Newsom said the lab, operated in partnership with the company PerkinElmer, would process 150,000 tests per day by March.
KOVR reported the company is being paid at the rate of 100,000 tests a day while fewer than 20,000 tests a day are being processed.
The report also said the lab leads the state in tests that come back inconclusive — with a rate of one out of every 34 tests, compared with the statewide rate of one out of 256.
KVOR said it interviewed “more than half a dozen whistleblowers, including several current and former employees at the lab” who cited “contamination, constantly changing protocols as well as unlicensed and inadequately trained staff as the reason for the high number of invalid and inconclusive results.”
The station said it was shown an email to staff concerning sample swabs found in restrooms, something that happened more than once.

The lab is getting lots of money and spending it—that is what really matters!
Anal swabs?...................
Who cares how clean or sloppy the lab is? Every result you get has a disclaimer saying it may or may not be accurate. Unless I have a multitude of symptoms, I am not bothering with any more testing. And no rushed vaccine either.
CaliWuhania.
You’ll care if you get quarantined thanks to a bogus test and have local LEOs show up at your door when you refuse to stay put.
The lab has a solution. Hire a bunch of Biden RATs to count the daily production. Right after they close for the day thousands of result forms will show up at 3:00am. Problem solved.
Valencia Diversity Lab (VDL)
Yep, more inept government.
“...put in the electric chair.”
I say, use solar panels to provide the charge for electrocution. A nice continuous 5-10 amp trickle charge over a period of hours, days, weeks, etc., until D-E-D—DED!, should do it.
Democrat run State - Free Pass - Nothing to see here - Move along!
Don’t eat peanuts the day of your test...
I eat peanuts nearly every day!...................
Newsom stole $1.4 billion to have masks made by a chinese BUS company. No masks have shown up so do not expect honest testing.
Another nail in Newsom’s “recall” coffin.
