Thanks for the reply. Where do US citizens go get tested in each state?

Personally, I would call my health provider, or my local hospital to inquire about their particular Covid testing protocol, seeming as some states are currently reporting very few confirmed cases, while others are already doing drive-through testing.

  Yea, that's the point. No one knows.

    Apologies, I thought you were genuinely curious.

      Your answer was that you don't know through. You just assume that the information would be easy to obtain by calling to hospital. (Which is not a way to distribute information many people need simultaneously anyway, even if it worked). Multiple people who called ended up being sent (or told to call) from one place to another.They after series of calls ended up being told they cant get tested due to rules on who is being tested being quite strict. It is not the case of "call your doctor and they will know and give you straight clear information". It might become that case after a while, but afaik it is not that way now.

        I do know..and most who care and plan ahead know. Acting out ignorance (whether deliberately feigned or even true ignorance) isn't advancing productive discussion. Of course testing is currently rationed for the most vulnerable/susceptible..you are not a consumer ordering a Big Mac in that drive-thru line, at least not yet, although that frequency and ease should be the outcome of widespread testing effort.

    What are you rambling about? Professionals do know. Ask them.
