Just as an aside: Biden Derangement Syndrome? Really? Very weak, unoriginal, and, even if you set aside how lame it is, it is not even applicable in the instances you use it. Do better. 1

This is exhausting: YOU posted ‘anyone who wants a test can get a test?’ The obvious response to YOUR question is to ask if you were denied a test. I’m done. Not one of your better days Tibs. 1

I know you’re being sarcastic but @BillStime was not and he never did offer photo or video proof of the thousands of people in Nazi regalia and flashing white supremacy signs at Trump rallies. 15 minutes ago, SoCal Deek said: I didn’t ask....you did.

Maybe true but at least a couple of those are sites of prisons and meat packing plants so they are misleadingly high.

Leaked White House data shows infections spiking more than 1,000% in rural areas that backed Trump Yeah, when you go from 1 case to 4, the growth rate is astronomical.

Trump's lies during the pandemic are a new low even for him I’d say they probably can. I called NYS DOHC for test on Monday, scheduled for Tuesday. Went to drive thru testing site- was done and out in 5 minutes. I have insurance, but it’s not required at this site. Got results yesterday , so 48 hours. Have another test scheduled for next week, seems like there are more tests than people seeking them. 1 1

Have another test scheduled for next week, seems like there are more tests than people seeking them. Same. Took the Google-owned Project Baseline test as well as the Quest antibody test this week (Monday and yesterday respectively). Waited no more than one day. No doctor's RX needed. I live in a populated area so it's probably easier for me but still pretty trivial finally. My experience with each in case anyone is interested. I did them both out of slight boredom and curiosity over a mild cold-flu that made it through our house in Feb. I took the Project Baseline test (tests for active infection) by signing up online and reporting to a local Rite Aid. Went to the drive-through. They push a little package out to me with a swab, vial, and wipe. Open the swab, shove it into nose and swab each side for 15 seconds. Drop it into the tube and wipe things down with wipe. Got result by email in 4 days. Free. Quest antibody was a little different. Cost was $130 and signed up online. Showing up at Quest, there are signs everywhere that there are active people being tested so that's nice(!). I checked in by flashing a QR code at a scanner and was able to sit outside in my car until they were ready. I got a text and walked directly in to a patient room. Drew two vials of blood. I had to sign (!!!!) a bleached e-pen but otherwise no contact with hands. I was inside for no more than 5 minutes, and probably closer to 3. Got results in 20 hours by email. Both negative unfortunately--was hoping for the antibody one to be positive! Edited May 15, 2020 by shoshin 3

She says Poloncranz or whatever his name is is doing a lot of "wink-wink" encouragement for people to get tested for this reason. It doesn't affect my area. We have some serious BS arbitrary number to meet. A single B word of a metric. Edited May 15, 2020 by shoshin 1 1

Just wanted to dispel this narrative that is still out there about testing. Not enough tests, etc. sports talk show hosts still mention when talking about leagues starting up that they have to figure out testing without taking tests away from the public. That may have been an issue at one time, but not anymore. There are plenty of tests. Edited May 15, 2020 by Boatdrinks 2

I may have to go take a test and have hubby do so so we can get the positive percentages down, too.
