Florida has free tests. I tried two places (giant parks filled with hundreds of cars waiting), the cops told me 3+ hours wait each, I went to a private clinic and was done in 20 min. But yeah, they have free and fully subsidized tests.
Apparently the logistics of it is not that simple.
- gridspy 6y agoYou can't have just one measure. You really need all the measures mentioned in the grandparent comment. Kind of no point having the population get tested now in the US. Without contact tracing and quarantine a positive result arrives too late to help anyone. First you need to lock down the entire state until the daily infected is only 1% of the testing capacity. 4 weeks of level 4 lock-down would do that. Then with contact-tracing you can start to get ahead of the virus by quarantining infected people (close contacts of the positive test) before they even transmit Covid further. Also, I'm sorry that you are experiencing life in a state as infected as Florida. It sounds terrifying. I hope you get well soon and stay safe.
