My husband and I went for a test 10 days ago, and we’re still waiting for results. Ridiculous
Herd immunity is achieved if everybody catches the virus. negative people will not get a health clearance to travel to foreign countries. The hospitalization count in our area has not Increased whatsoever in a long time. So all the new positive cases either have no or very minor symptoms. Health Department should report how many people are presently still hospitalized.
Thank you Lee.
@Estrella Nueva –
Walk-up COVID-19 testing will be available in Century on Wednesday:
Community Health Northwest Florida will conduct the testing on Wednesday from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. at 440 East Hecker Road. There is no pre-screening required.
Where can you go for COVID testing if you do not have symptoms?
I agree with herd immunity. We all owe it to each other to wear a mask. Respect your fellow humans.
Until there is a vaccine it could be here immunity. I do not trust our government with this virus. Wear a mask when in public places to protect you and others. It’s the right thing to do.
