Different state. Actually two states since my boss had the same deal, and he’s old enough to be at higher risk too.
Poll: Have you been tested for COVID-19?

sorry should have stated - I’m out out of state, kc area. Tried both going through Dr and CVS pharmacy.
Well that's b.s.
It would be different if you needed symptoms to pass it along, but that's not the case.
This was my experience as well. We were at the CR site for maybe 5 minutes too. Seemed to work well and quickly
Was bed ridden for about 3 days, was extremely weak/fatigued for over a month with most of the symptoms back late February early March. Really want to do the antibody test but no where close buy really even offers it...
Ya my brother and sister inlaw had this same experience. They both had it.
Me and the wife tested negative.
I've been tested three different times for work (I'm in a quasi-health care field), and I will be tested twice more in August as well. The first time was the nasal swap, which I don't care to repeat anytime soon. The last two have been throat swabs, which are much more tolerable.
Thankfully (knock on wood!), I've been negative all three times.

I'm basically considered low risk currently. but I tested negative for the flu and strep, and at the time the doc just said it's some upper respiratory virus that has been going around. it is literally the sickest I have ever been in my life time and I hardly ever get sick to begin with, I'm also type A+ blood which seams to be type A is more prone to symptoms as well..
I had a similar bout in late December/early January and was negative for strep, didn't get tested for flu but had a flu shot. Also was around other people and didn't get anyone else sick. Was REALLY awful.
But I think when I had Covid was March..was just very unusual symptoms and didn't feel like a normal cold or flu at all.
I'm still diligent despite positive antibody tests but it did ease my mind a bit and they should be more available.
New study just out showed no difference for different blood types after previous studies showed A slightly worse.
Tested negative, but had to have had it. Doc said, "I just caught a bug." Thanks.
Now I have been sick with symptoms (dizziness, confusion, blurred vision, shortness of breath, chest crap, etc... ) since beginning of May. Although, I feel "better" (only experiencing lower throat pain, occasional shortness of breath, and discomfort in upper chest) than how I felt in late June early July. I fear this might be new normal. For me recovery was/is measured in weeks/months not days. If people went through/understood what I went through, they wouldn't be rushing out to get it.

I have not had a reason to be tested. Have not felt sick and have not had anyone around me that I know test positive
I’ve been tested three times through a Test Iowa site, each negative. Results were available within 24 hours each time.
Super quick and easy, and yeah the deep-nasal swab is hardly a spa treatment, but it wasn’t bad.
I’ve never had symptoms, I haven't shut down my usual weekly routines (just takeout instead of hanging out in the food establishments). I wear a mask in public, and I get periodically tested because I wish to keep hanging out with friends and family and participate in recreational activities and do it all responsibly.
With the high asymptomatic rate, testing more and testing frequently is critical for preventing spread (until vaccines are ready), so I’m taking full advantage of the resources we have available.

It was weird. I was more in shock seeing blood splatter as it was a stab not a slice based on how I was cutting and positioning my hand. It never really hurt but it's been 2 weeks and I still can't put pressure against it so basically sucks not using one of my thumbs for much.
Flipping fantastic. Told my wife while I was at the ER "I don't care if they cut my thumb off, you gotta finish putting the rub on it!"
