I was 99% sure I had had it back in mid-March (had fever, aches, nausea, loss of taste and smell), but wasn’t able to get the test at that time since my case didn’t involve difficulty with breathing. I tested positive for antibodies, so that helped put my mind at ease/confirm what I had suspected.

I was able to remotely check in (from outside) on the phone and was sent a message when they were ready for me. Without waiting in the reception I was sent immediately to a room where the tech drew blood. The whole process took about 5 minutes. I had been very sick with a "flu" with all Covid symptoms in January. Unfortunately the test came back negative which leaves me wondering if it was a false negative. A coworker had died along with others testing positive in March.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-90723660674315395352020-05-14T17:36:01.955-04:002020-05-14T17:36:01.955-04:00Isn't CityMD the company that just had to clar...Isn't CityMD the company that just had to clarify to 15,000 people that the way they reported test results to them was unclear?<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-66089682064356598962020-05-14T17:29:19.482-04:002020-05-14T17:29:19.482-04:00Did the test providers clarify the veracity of the...Did the test providers clarify the veracity of the results? You hear about tests being 90% accurate which somehow allows for false positives up to 70% of the time (I'm not a medical expert, I read it in the NYT).<br /><br />It's better than nothing but I hope the emergence of the Roche test as approved by US, EU etc as being reliable will be the one that these facilities are using.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17142653179893856986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-64424767665251710892020-05-14T16:52:46.608-04:002020-05-14T16:52:46.608-04:00I went to CityMD on 14th and 3rd ave at 8am in the...I went to CityMD on 14th and 3rd ave at 8am in the end of April. There was a long line in the morning. It was crowded too in the waiting room but everyone was wearing masks. One of the people that were waiting couldn't stop coughing but they didn't try to isolate her from the rest of us. It was disappointing to know how they handled the situation. I know she might not have the virus, but that made us so uncomfortable to wait inside. I am glad that they improved the situation or maybe fewer people were getting the test.Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-65991647961397461372020-05-14T16:24:20.432-04:002020-05-14T16:24:20.432-04:00Went to Quest on LI. iPad check in. 5 people in wa...Went to Quest on LI. iPad check in. 5 people in waiting room.

Whole thing takes probably 20 minutes, and got the results back in two days. Everyone was properly protected and very nice!RubberBunsandLiquorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17394410875310181474noreply@blogger.com
