Two negative tests after close contact with someone who tested positive. Madison has drive through testing @ Alliant Energy center. First time wait was ~15 minutes, second time ~1 hour. They are getting better at handling the increasing number of people coming for the free testing.
It would be great if someone invented an at home instant test. Say if you and some buddies wanted to get together at your house for a weekend (yet still social distance from others), you could all test then hang out. Sure it may not be perfect but it would help a lot of situations. Same with sporting events ect.

We have a test iowa sight in Mitchell County. I had a co-worker test positive in our office. From what i saw, and have heard, the workers at the testing site are running it very well. I got my test result (negative) back in roughly 36hrs. It sounds like this sight is being so well run that it will be open well into 2021, if its needed. The local clinic is also gearing up to run tests to help quicken up the process also.
You're doing frequent testing even with no symptoms or exposure? So you're treating it more like wearing a condom?
I'm now very fearful of your understanding of the purpose of a condom.

This is the exact same scenario I decided to get tested for. I was pretty sure it was allergies, but wouldn’t have been shocked if it did end up positive.
Now I'm just refreshing my email every 5 min waiting for results that probably won't come until next week.
What was the results time frame? I'm thinking of doing this and then quarantine to visit family.
I have antibodies (or did) but just want to make sure vs. the smoke out there of reinfections.
Just got tested at work as part of the entire staff being tested, I was expecting it to be much worse than it was, just a little discomfort and felt like I had to sneeze. Of course maybe my nose sensitivity was impacted by some of my bad habits from my 20's.....
I was able to schedule a test without claiming any symptoms, underlying conditions, or exposure through the Test Iowa site. My understanding, which is far from perfect and based mostly on what my sister has told me (she is a medical professional in northeast Iowa) is that securing a test via a doc through the Iowa lab almost always requires symptoms, save for perhaps having a household member test positive.
I found there to be no material difference from any other nasal swab test I've had (I've had a flu test once or twice).
My parents are high risk, so once the school year starts it’s going to be difficult to visit w/ our kids being in school. It’d be great if there was an option to test. I’d also appreciate it if schools dismissed or go online 14+ days prior to Christmas as it’s going to be difficult to make that call.
my self and both coworkers all had the same symptoms within a week or so of each other.. and a few others around town have been saying the same from that time period. A buddy back in DSM just came back as positive and he has the same symptoms I had back then.
did she have to bring you the brisket or where you out of the ER by that time? I'm guessing it wasn't to long for stitches?
