Anecdote: My wife and I were tested at Stanford today. There was no line, the process took 5-10 minutes and we never left the car. We were told to expect results in 24 hours.
Widespread testing might not be that far off and feedback might not be that delayed.
Edit: Since HN won't let me comment fast enough I figured I'd share the information here.
We were referred to Stanford by our PCP yesterday. We were not members of Stanford Health prior. The process looked like this:
- Video chatted with our PCP yesterday evening, who referred us to Stanford Health.
- Video chatted a few hours later with a physician from Stanford Health who approved the test.
- Scheduled the test for noon the next day
We are not overtly symptomatic for most of the symptoms (at the moment, it has been worse) and have not travelled abroad in a relevant timespan.
- raywu 6y agoAre you part of Stanford Health Care or is the test site open to public?
- papeda 6y agoSimilar but more general question: is testing available to everyone, e.g. random asymptomatic passersby?
- raywu 6y agoI found a source[0]. Stanford was testing a larger population to get an estimate of the spread. [0] https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/04/04/stanford-researchers-test-3200-people-for-covid-19-antibodies/ https://www.stanforddaily.com/2020/04/04/stanford-researcher...
- Ankaios 6y agoThat reference describes a separate antibody survey that Stanford ran on April 3 and 4. It's unrelated to great-great grandparent's test today.

- hangonhn 6y agoWhere can I find out more about this?
- eunoia 6y agoCall your doctor. Our experience would seem to indicate any PCP can refer you into the system.
