Your story doesn’t make any sense. Rapid tests have been available in America since at least the spring. Also you said you were going in September and Memorial Day is in May.
- MrDunham 5y agoCrap. Yes I meant Labor day. You'd think since my mother went into labor with me on labor day, I'd actually remember it. That's what I get for posting in the morning. Good catch.
- electroly 5y agoHe's obviously thinking of Labor Day. I mix them up myself. I believe HN guidelines suggest steel manning here, not accusing him of being nonsensical because of a simple mistake.
- DonHopkins 5y agoAlso, programmers often confuse Halloween and Christmas, because OCT 31 = DEC 25.
- MrDunham 5y agoNot only are you correct (I mixed them up), but now I know about steel manning and am a fan. Thanks for the support and understanding - have a wonderful day!
- 0x0000000 5y ago"Available" and available are two different things, and I'd guess OP probably meant Labor Day instead of Memoridal Day. I can say that in my area of the US, the only tests that could be found were PCR, 2-3 days for results.
- MrDunham 5y agoThanks, you're correct on all counts. Labor day. The tests are "available" but not available anywhere nearby for us. PCR only (maybe they're actually available now, but they weren't then.) Anyways I really need to stop posting to HN in the AM before I've had enough coffee... I make too many half-brained stupid mistakes.

- MrDunham 5y agoShoot. You're correct. You'd think since my mother went into labor with me on labor day, I'd actually remember it. Thanks.
