Red Mosquito

He might not be fine, you're only on day four of incubation, but the odds are pretty low, significantly lower than flying. My wife and I thought about getting tested after the protest if we show symptoms, but we're not going anywhere in the next two weeks and we figure that, absent a fever, it's probably riskier to go into a health clinic in Philly than it is to just wait.

Damn it, Mickey! You're banned!

But yeah I agree with B's point that it should be MUCH easier. I think there's a place doing drive thru testing out in the suburbs here, but they're the only one

They did that on the news the other night at a CVS, but I can't find a pharmacy doing testing in my county.

Like I said, that's fucked up.

For some reason, I can hear dueling banjos, I think.

Ditto

I'm thinking there are probably some ethics involved in not giving me the results from the swab they took. I'm betting I get my results even though I left.

Actually, I was gonna call your local health dept and find out what the deal is.

oh snap!

I know the head of nursing. I just sent her an e-mail to find out if they do testing.

If they don’t (which they should), they should at least have a list of all the places that do.

Going back to the office tomorrow. I'm sick of working from home but also not super keen about having to sit in an office with seven other people all day. Our county has been relatively spared but there's definitely been an uptick in cases since reopening started.

Well, that's where I got the clinic that I went to! Well, it was the State site, but still.

Yeah .. the County website just links to the State database.

There are other options, just none that don't require "screening" which I assume is the buzzword for "you have to meet with an MA, give your full personal and family history, and then meet with the doctor."

That was the website tho, right? You didn’t actually speak to anyone?

You figure they keep a super secret, not on the official website, list of testing sites? I assure you, public health staff do NOT have that much energy.

You're fine.

Only if literally every other person there also wore a mask

No, no. What I mean is if you actually spoke with someone at the state DoH, it’s possible they have a list that may be more current than what the website shows. I had that happen when I called our state DoH a few weeks ago.
