    Hopefully he’s an essential worker. And, many places won’t do the rapid unless you are essential and showing symptoms as in a typical cold.

    Otherwise he will have to do the other test.

    Evidently the key to the rapid test is to tell them that. A local drugstore is doing those rapid tests in the parking lot.

    Maybe that’s why you can’t find one around here. Long story short it took 3 hours of calling every place within an hour travel distance to find a site here recently. Everyone was out.

    Im sure he’s fine but let us know.

    Came back negative for Covid. Dr. said there is an upper respiratory bug going around, he has that. Effects lymph glands, etc. Something I've been dealing with for the last few days myself.

    So is the rapid test the one where they tickle your brain with the 2 foot Q-tip?

    Evidently swab half way in 1 nostril hold it there for 15 seconds, do the other nostril same way with same swab. Gets deposited into a small bottle of solution.

    Few minutes later you can get a false positive or false negative result. Who knows LOL

    I'll wait for the blood serum test that shows that you've already had it.

    Isn't that already available? Quest Diagnostics advertises an antibody test.

    I hear there are black market positive tests so you can ride the covid couch for two weeks and get PAID.

    Serious tho when the vaccine becomes mandatory to travel or do this or that, I bet the black market will explode. Sad!

    Elon Musk did four of those rapid tests one after the other. 2 positive and 2 negative. It’s all BS in my opinion, the whole freakin works.
