Just pull up, fill out very minimal paperwork, get a long swab shoved up your nose, and you're on your way - less than 5 minutes in and out, and you get a package of 5 free cotton masks also.
They say I should have results within 5 days but other folks who went there said it actually was 8-10 days to get results because the lab was swamped. Probably by then I'll either be feeling better or know I'm sick.
But since I have a trifecta of danger issues, (old, obese, T2 diabetic) I suspect I'll be one of those who die if I get Covid, so keeping my fingers crossed.

By the time DH swab test result came back, he was well again and cleared by his primary to get back to work. *It was negative, as most are.)
Old is not really relevent. Nor is obesity . Its about the metabolic diseases. And type 2 can be managed and even reversed with diet. IMHO, you have far better chances than most Americans as they still eat crap and you dont. I realize this is scary. For me with children, teens, worrying was setting my immune system up due to the added stress. Decided to do what I could to have family members maximize their immune system via diet.
