Only if my doctor(s) thought I needed it. Otherwise? Will leave, the seemingly hard to get tests, to those that really may need them.

Me too.

Absolutely! I'd do it weekly if I could. .... my health is tenous and regular testing would allow me to find and attack the virus early if I had it. Peace of mind.

and I wonder how a dog got a test and some humans are refused.

@Mary Bailey

Animals have their own, separate Covid testing.

They did not take a test ment for humans, and use it on the dog.

The Sky looks different when you have someone you love up there.

Agree 110%. It's painful.

Not unless it was a blood test and only if I was having blood work done any way.

To get it done just because, no.

Yes I would like to be tested if there were ample tests available. I would ask for the saliva test though , not the up the nose one. Not sure if I would go for the blood test for antibodies though, I am really not a good blood test taker. If it was to help a family member then yes I would suffer through it Not being a baby but lost a lymph node with breast cancer and I cannot use my right arm for blood pressure or blood tests. My left arm veins are very difficult to access.

I was tested yesterday for antibodies ~ fully covered by my insurance. I will have results in 4 ~ 5 days.

Had a nasty cough in the fall which took weeks to get rid of.........also was exposed to someone positive in early March..................so since facility is less than 2 miles from my house, no appt. needed, I figured there was nothing to lose. Visit took less than 15 minutes.

At this time, I have no reason to get the test done, and I do not want to take away that option for someone who actually needs it.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

@Mz iMac From what I hear - those were the first test taken. Now they swab inside of mouth - people don't even get out of their cars - the line forms - the swab-takers take a sample right there.

Talked to my friend last evening - Happily she said - I was tested today when going to drug store - and I'm negative.

I stand to be corrected = if necessary

@Mz iMac @Goldengate8361. Yes, it is painful, but only for a couple of seconds. For me, it's worth it. ... oh.... it doesn't get anywhere close to the back of the brain!
