“This isn’t the really bad one,” said Spc. James Hawkins, a medic with the Kansas National Guard. “Just midway up your nose to get a couple boogers.”

Heacock showed up first thing Saturday morning for COVID-19 testing at FHSU’s Gross Memorial Coliseum.
About 196 students, faculty and staff were tested Friday by a rapid response team of health care workers organized by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. They came equipped with KDHE’s brand new lab on wheels, which can run the test samples on site.
