We are both getting tested tomorrow morning.

State health dept person ok’d it. They felt they should test me, since if he is positive, it doesn’t necessarily mean I am. (I offered to not get it, said I did’t want to keep the test from somebody else who might need it more, but they felt I should get tested. We don’t even have to go in, just pull up to the front and the will do it in our car.

Keep your fingers crossed it’s negative.

Holy crap.

That's GREAT! Glad you'll have definitive information. Interesting that you don't even have to go in.

I'm so glad, jodi. Did they say how long it takes to get results?

And remember, even if it's positive, chances are excellent that you'll weather the storm at home...but hoping that it's not....

County health person will drive the test up to Helena right after, then, assuming the lab is not super busy, we should know by the end of the day.

Hoping I don’t barf in the car (they swab the back of the throat too)

There's a doctor on the south side here who says he has a drive through feature in his practice. Apparently there is a bay you drive into, and there's an adjoining exam room. You don't have to sit in a waiting room with other sick people.

He says people can't quite figure out how it works and that most people still go the standard route.

If you barf in the car, just pretend you’re eight years old.

Glad you’re getting tested!

Good luck!

Bring a barf bag, just to be safe?

Oof. Winter storm up here. Already bad and supposed to get much worse. Roads will be bad tomorrow. Hope the county health person still has winter tires on (we almost took ours off)
