Why did everyone on Fisher Island get access to antibody tests? @UMiamiHealth is giving conflicting information.

After an island rep said it was part of UM research, UM& #39;s rep told me that wasn& #39;t true: "This is just Fisher Island has purchased the tests for themselves." https://twitter.com/aaron_leib/status/1249804088633700358">https://twitter.com/aaron_lei...

That& #39;s not quite what @UMiamiHealth told the New York Times. For that story, they said they considered the fact that Fisher Island had one of Miami-Dade& #39;s first cases, and that it has an older population with a lot of snowbirds.

But they gave residents an entirely different explanation.

In a 4/7 letter (I found after story ran), UM said it wanted to test everyone on the island "to monitor how spread occurs in a nearly contained environment, unlike anywhere else in the world." https://mailchi.mp/57b9fc5fcc6b/testing-update-from-uhealth-april-7-2020">https://mailchi.mp/57b9fc5fc...

That sounds research-related to me.

I& #39;m not quite sure which explanation to believe, or maybe it& #39;s a combination, but @UMiamiHealth should be more clear with the public about who they& #39;re willing to provide tests for.
