Covid Testing
 

The Express.org covid testing site by the Hampton Inn on 466 is not currently taking online appointments. Anyone know of a nearby site that will take online appointments?

It has been a month since I had my PCR test, but I had it done at the CVS on CR466 by the high school.

Walgreens and CVS do

It's a little different now than it was 3-5weeks ago, Go ahead, try and make an appointment NOW at any CVS or WALGREENS within 50 miles. Don't actually make it just find an available appointment date and time. You'll have to fill out a questionnaire before them telling you "There are no appointments available" unless you can wait a week or more.

About 3 weeks ago SAMS had carton after carton stacked up on a shelf with BinaxNow tests for $17 a box. Hasn't been one available to buy since just before Christmas.

Went by there twice yesterday, no one waiting any of the lanes.

The at home tests became impossible to find about the time the government said they were going to make home testing easier. Funny how that happened.

Buy tests on Amazon, 18 bucks for 2

Just beware that the Covid testing site on 466 by Hampton Inn is not free like CVS and Walgreens.
If you use the site on 466 they will charge you $100, $50 if you have Medicare.

Why were over 800,000 + COVID testing kits not distributed and left in storage to expire?

Go online and sign up at Walgreens. I did that just before Christmas and got tested at their drive through window.

Do people test to see if they are positive or confirm they are negative?

And......what do the test results do for their tomorrow?

Rhetorical questions all!

:popcorn:

No Appointments available

Maybe because the PCR test were recalled in July of 2021--FALSE POSITIVES.The test are fake

Care to share WHEN these tests expired?

Was it at the time when covid tests were so plentiful that you couldn't walk down the street without tripping over one (and people WEREN'T waiting in lines for tests), or later, when they were scarce and there WERE lines?

Context matters...

Try Publix Mulberry

yes with 2 to 3 weeks delivery by third party sellers

There is an urgent care on 466A on the right hand side as you head into Wildwood that is doing the tests without appointments; it's the rapid antigen test. Went there last night and was out within 45 minutes. Unfortunately, I tested positive.

Did you go to test because you had symptoms?
How ill do you feel (or not) today?

Buy a covid test
 

You can buy one at Freedom Plaza drug store. I bought one today for 30.00. I was positive...

If you test positive, you need to wear a mask and quarantine for 5-10 days, depending on if you show symptoms or not. It's not that difficult, just common sense. It's not a lot different than not going around others when you are sick with a cold.

My test result of POSITIVE may have saved my great great niece and nephew from hospitalization or worse! They’re too young for vaccinations. Thought simple cold but to be on safe side took home test. POSITIVE. Self quarantined. Three other tests POSITIVE. 15th day after symptoms, NEGATIVE. Twice vaccinated & booster but still got COVID.

We signed up yesterday at the Covid Test Express website and got appointments and a confirmation email.

Just don't try to get one in Minnesota. The home test kits have been sold out for quite some time, and the result is that the ERs and Urgent Cares are jammed with people who are not sick but are just there to get a COVID test--many, probably multiple times, or anytime they wake up with a scratchy throat or stuffed nose. It is so bad that truly sick people aren't being able to be served and have to be turned away. Media up there is imploring people NOT to go to those places for tests.

Isn't it grand, what panic will do to people?

Kids won't end up in hospitals (or even worse...)

You know they expired in September and were not distributed due to lack of demand?
They received a 90 day waiver of the expiration date. Again, lack of demand caused them to stay where they were. Just someone trying to revive a dead campaign. Nothing nefarious.

Thank you for answering my question and confirming my suspicions...
