Default 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.

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.

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.

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!

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...
