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?

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.

Rhetorical questions all!

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...
