It also happens to be the case that Houston is the major processing center for all of the major lab groups for the south/southwest. They literally pointed at the single most congested part of the network, during a period of global supply shortages, and went "well, that's not working well." Well, yeah, it's not fucking working well. We're cranking out tests and running analyses at an unprecedented level. And we're doing a decent job of ramping up, actually, but not perfectly evenly across the board. My healthcare center is not particularly large or particularly well-connected. We've been getting our tests back in 3 days. At one point our partner started getting too heavily inundated, things were lagging to 5 days, so we switched to another that didn't require shipping to Houston for processing. We're back to 3 days. But we're lucky - we're small enough that we don't have to partner with a Houston-based center. Others aren't.
