Are there same day tests now? Is this legit?
Someone told me in Houston there's testing centers with a 15 minute return.
The main issue with test time is lab access for results. If you don’t have to send it off you can easily do same day. Local hospitals have 2 hour tests if you’re an inpatient.
I work for the VA, so I figure they’d have the best tests. My patients are generally waiting 3-4 days for results. Early on it was about a week. I had several patients die before their results got back.
Our family went to Disney World in late February. It was packed as could be, Chinese tourists everywhere. Early March, my brother-in-law got pneumonia, my 6yo daughter collapsed multiple times, I could barely move and had a fever. None of us got tested for Covid. Fortunately, my supervisor encouraged me to avoid any patient contact since this time.
