Rivian Donates $500k for COVID testing.

More details showing Rivian to be for real. We saw a few months ago they declined a million dollar tax break from Normal, then a couple of weeks ago dropped 500k to the University of Illinois for a lab doing Covid Testing.

Kudos to the management team at Rivian.

Great move on Rivian's part to invest in the area. As UoI has a strong engineering program, I suspect it does not hurt to be invested is a good source for future talent.

The UI Covid test, which have worked well for the students and staff at UI who have been utilizing it since last summer. Our football and basketball teams did not see the success folks expect, but we never had to cancel games due to COVID issues on our end.
