It is valuable to test without symptoms, since it seems that a pretty big chunk of spread comes from people who have little or no symptoms, or have not developed them yet. Different areas of the country have approached testing in many different manners. Some are doing a good job, some not so good. I'm lucky, the options in my area are excellent, and for a change, the NYC HHC offerings and services are very good, not something that gets said too often. Waiting time websites, "virtual lines" as well as some places using appointments (often tied to a wait outside we'll call you in) and/or drive thru. In the process of adding 40 more mobile units so testing is available in areas that have lots of people, including many who would have a travel issue. But the key is turn around time. If it takes too long to get results, potential spreaders, especially asymptomatic or pre symptomatic are still walking around. The center I use does a rapid and a regular at the same time, rapid is less accurate, but within 2 days, I get a full test confirmation. So far so good. |

Usually a PCR based rapid and full PCR at the same time, but sometimes the onsite mini lab is backed up so they have an express line for anyone who doesn't need (or want) to wait for rapid. In and out in 10 minutes, results in less than 2 days...why not.If I needed it for work, a procedure, or a hospital/nursing home visit it would be different, but I don't need the rapid. |

In both cases after possible exposure. In both cases negative. The first time was the kind with the instant result and the second time was the one where you have to wait two days. |

It wasn't that bad, the nurse just swabbed a Q tip in my nose, she did not stick it all the way up into the nose which they used to use. |

Same with me, except I had 4 tests and 4 negatives. The first was the most painful test, they went all the way up my nose. Subsequent test were part way up the nose. |

Well, the one on the right certainly has a frightful appearance which I can easily imagine as an ill omen that I'd want around me "nevermore". The one on the left has a more pleasant appearance. So I'd guess the raven was the one on the right. Is it? |

When I'm unfortunately outside, and stuck in traffic, I look around at all the cars and people, and crowded office buildings, and I form so many questions. Were any of these people ever sick? Was it at once? Is it a slow burn? Do they hang out in crowded and maskless unventilated rooms and never get sick? What's going on here?Especially when I compare it to other groups of people where they all got sick many months ago. |
