Anyone else have testing tents in town yet?

A friend of mine was tested for COVID-19 earlier today. All of the symptoms, and two negative flu tests. Someone else took the first picture, and he took the second from his drivers seat. The tent is behind our local hospital. Apparently we're also getting them at Walmart and CVS.

Ew that`s nasty.

Would turn the car around and speed out of there.

You sit in your car and are swabbed. You then drive home.

It's very practical.

I live a 1/2 mile from a hospital, they started the tent testing this past Saturday.
The last 3 days the line of cars was all the way down the street.

It is actually better that way than standing in line getting infected by the flu or some other virus from the other people going to get tested. I said flu, because ninety eight percent of tests are negative.

No testing yet just open pits to burn the bodies.

This. It simulates what South Korea does. Their testing tents have a plastic curtain you sit behind and the suited person sticks their hand through a slit with the swab to test you.

Car serves the same function.

What are they testing for? Coronavirus? They'll gets tons of positives. Coronavirus is all over the place. There are many types of coronavirus even causing the common cold. Deadly!!!!!

More testing equals more positives.

Are they going to test for Covid-19 with pinpoint accuracy? Probably testing for signs of life. Everybody positive!!!! I think.

Those pics reminds me of "Andromeda Strain"
Planned response ?

Looks like the beginning of some sort of dystonian zombie movie.

"Oh it's just nothing, a simple test..."

They are supposed to have them here but I haven't seen them yet. I heard they only take 4 hours for the results but I don't know how true that is. I got swabbed today and they told me 5 days.

Yes, we have one at the local hospital, so possible infected people do not come into (contact with) the hospital itself without proper safety.

Specifically for COVID-19. I shouldn't have to explain this.

They told him he'll probably get results Friday.

Me- how does it work?
Them- "Just a little swab of this super clean swab thingy which absolutely does not already have covid-19 in it to purposely infect you"
*starts sweating*
Me- what?
Them- what?
