High demand for COVID-19 testing in Massachusetts has not stopped. The drive-thru test site in Randolph was so backed up Monday that people had to wait hours to get a PCR test. Monday was the busiest testing day for the city, police working at the site told NBC10 Boston. The wait tested people's patience. "We are here in purgatory!" exclaimed Halima Blackman. Blackman and her mother urgently needed a PCR test. They had a death in the family and have to fly out Tuesday. They decided to take their chances at the Randolph testing center at the Joseph Zapustas Ice

did not the CDC "withdraw" the recommendation to the FDA on the use of RT- PCR on Dec 31?
Conflicting explanations from other faster testing available to PCR unreliable.
Of course it all depends on the source as the government explanation, as usual, is not definite leaving room for speculation

Plenty of time for them to think about pappy poopy pants failure to manage the situation or how wonderful he is that he tries to give us testing but the Republicans won’t let him.

This is unbelievable !!! People rushing out to be tested to see if they’re SICK !!! We have people showing up at the ER that want to be tested. They aren’t feeling sick. They know someone who has Covid or have been “exposed” to someone that has Covid. Therefore they “need” tested. I told one of the doctors that we should be doing X-rays on everyone that walks in the door because they might have lung cancer and we aren’t going to know if we don’t do a X-ray. We just need to be safe. He didn’t appreciate my point of view. Too bad !!!

Now employers are demanding a negative test after quarantining before people are allowed back to work. Meanwhile, Comrade Potato Head still has not signed a contract for the tests he has been babbling about for two weeks, and the new website where people can get their non-existent tests sent to them has also not been built yet.
Heck of a job there, Plugs.

I'm not sure I understand the point of getting tested, unless you are seriously sick.

I recommend that folks who haven't seen the movie 'Idiocracy' do so. It's often referenced here at L.com.

A friend in the Marines had to get a test yesterday in KC area. He had an "appointment" for nose swab at 3:40. He didn't get out until well after 5 pm. Still tests positive, but has been symptom free for 4 days...so put on med leave and can't travel home until he tests negative.
Wuhan insanity.

Why bother? It's not like they are going to give you proven therapeutics to help you? joe xiden is following the science don't you know that he has it under control until he no longer has it under control.

If someone is willing to wait for hours in line for a test, they can't be very sick.
When I'm sick, I'm immobilized.

If people are willing to wait in line for hours to see if they're sick, then they can wait in line to vote. No more all mail in balloting needed.

When people are dumb enough to either hoard home testing kits or run to get checked for sniffles……

SOME of them are getting tests required before going back to work. My Marine friend was ordered to get tested after he got sick, which he had to report by phone, too. He had to get a negative test prior to traveling back to his unit.
So, SOME have a real reason. Seems like huge numbers are just being hysterical.

Some people are being forced to take a test the CDC admits is unreliable in order to report back to work. The entire COVID scam is just bizarre.

If they didn't have COVID when they got in line, they probably have it now.
