ALSO… I have seen the drive up testing available at Rite-Aid at 60 Franklin turnpike in Waldwick. Go to Riteaid.com for info. Its free and you do not require a prescription, but according to the person I spoke with when I was in the parking lot apparently there were some CDC testing guideline that had to be met to see if you were eligible all available on the riteaid website. and I believe you need to make an appointment.
My question…. for any readers… I’d like to get anti-body testing to see if I had this since last month I had a cough for 4 weeks and now its gone
Okay, good to know…
People still need to remember if you’re not feeling well stay home. Go visit your doctor get checked out. Don’t try to be a damn hero because nobody cares. You’re not going to get a metal.
No testing for asymptomatic patients. Murphy walked this back Wednesday
I’m going out to get tested.
I’m bored.
It will give me something to do.
