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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to dispel this narrative that is still out there about testing.

That may have been an issue at one time, but not anymore. There are plenty of tests. Edited May 15, 2020 by Boatdrinks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 (edited) Ok, so after thinking about it, Erie County has a list of places to get a test. Kaleida has a bot that tells you where you can go for COVID-19, plenty of appointments. The place nearest me has open appointments all afternoon (and plenty more after that). These are listed as having the antibody test. Edited May 15, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal weird coding got inserted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I doubt the numbers are as low as 640K. I know, Chinese people should wear masks. That will prevent it! (Yes, that is sarcasm as many Chinese have worn masks as part of daily life for almost 20 years now.) Leaked data suggests China may have 640,000 coronavirus cases, not 80,000 A leaked database from a Chinese military-run university suggests the country may have at least 640,000 COVID-19 cases — a figure substantially higher than Beijing’s dubious claim that it has seen just 80,000 coronavirus infections. The virus tracker, compiled by China’s National University of Defense Technology and leaked to Foreign Policy magazine, appears to confirm fears that the nation’s Communist government is hiding the true nature of the outbreak that originated in Wuhan late last year. According to the report, the virus tracker consists of more than 640,000 rows of cases in 230 cities ranging from early February to late April and confirms the location of each infection. </snip> 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
