Yes. I have to drive to a parking lot at my local hospital system and they'll test me from my car.

I don't have to pay a copay because my insurance company has waived that for covid testing. My premiums should be fine but they always go up every year anyway. If I need treatment I'll need to pay for the copays for that but hopefully if I do have it it just stays moderate to mild like it is now so I don't have to go to the ICU

Why do you want to be tested.


I have had a cough for over a month, wet caught, and spitting up phlem etc, especially if I eat, or when I wake up. My doctor thought it was Acid Reflux and Gerd, but yeah, no, I have been coughing even when I don't eat etc for at least 2 weeks.

I'm totally sure I don't have it, because I would have been the first person in the US to get it by like a month, but my roomates are worried because I have been coughing.

Here was the first message from them (not going to do the whole thing, but it continues on where they say coughing is a symptom etc).

"I really recommend getting tested for the virus. This virus started back in January. Many people had it and had no idea. Respiratory issues are a major sign of the virus. I know your cough has been going on for many weeks. Just thought I would throw it out there. There is a clinic next to Fred Meyer up the road that is not too expensive. I just know they are shutting everything down including my work. This is crazy."

So, if I could get tested without endangering myself, I would, but I'm high risk, so going to a testing site would be crazy. A drive through though might be ok.

I live down here in the basement though and will just avoid touching anything they touch, so it should be fine. Just would like to be able to ease their minds (Even though there is no way the cough I have had is the virus). I did go shopping a few days ago etc and could have gotten it then (even though I took precautions).

Not really. I'm pretty healthy otherwise so I'm sure I'll be fine. I want to get tested tho so I can get paid leave from work if I have it and also so I can be part of the statistics that are needed

The coronavirus thread on r/Anxiety has helped me so much this week. Im in fairly good health and Im young so Im not exactly worried about the virus itself, just the impact this is going to have on society for years to come. I feel a lot better today though because I started taking my full dose of my SSRI again. I was in the process of weening myself off of it but the timing was awful.

the one cool thing about this though is seeing the entire world united in one cause.

I don't mean to drive up anxiety by saying this, but remember that being young does not mean we are immune from having severe effects of the virus that could lead to hospitalization. See: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6912e2.htm

Continue to practice self-care and take your health seriously, both mental and physical!

I know, I said that to them, and also that I have had it for well over a month, almost 2 at this point and reminded them of when I first had a coughing fit after eating (tim, one of my roomates saw me taking out the trash and coughing like crazy).

They still didn't seem convinced but there is nothing I can do about it. I'm not gonna put myself at risk for no reason. There is no way I have had it for almost 2 months, and because I have been really careful, it's very unlikely I got it in the last week.

The worst thing I could do is go out there now and risk getting it, even if I was just going to get tested. My cough is getting better, but I still have one, and I have other underlying health conditions that make me at much higher risk. Getting the virus would probably be extremely bad for me.

I don't disagree; they should have broken it out further.

Also weird to describe it as "my link" >_> It's the CDC that chose to report the data that way. I'm not against thinking that it was intentional to present the data this way to try to spur more people into taking this matter seriously.

I'm also confused at the point that you're trying to make with the CDC report. Is it simply that no particular person includikg someone that is young may necessarily be "immune from having severe effects of the virus that could lead to hospitalization"? Like a young person with preexisting health problems or lung disease might have severe effects from any respiratory illness? Which is always the case. The statistics and data in the report indicate that old and unhealthy people are at risk, which is something already well known and prominently stated right up front in the summary, so I don't understand what you're trying to say.

It's almost guaranteed. In the UK, the youngest case to die was 45 and he had motor neurone. Literally someone given 2 year prognosis a year ago.

Yeah, I am not sure what other effect is intended when linking that kind of a statement to a report that omits and/or does not address critical and material factors. It says in the report itself that they had no information about underlying health problems, which is extremely important to know. It's kind of a classic misuse of incomplete data that can support a faulty conclusion or non sequitur.

Essentially. Again, I agree that there are a lot of variables missing from their analysis. After seeing reports of people fully enjoying St. Patrick's Day and spring break activities, I wouldn't be surprised if they're intentionally presenting the data in this way to get it through to young people who refuse to heed the public health advise of social distancing. Some people either think they're invincible to it or are just apathetic towards their odds of spreading it.

Thhnk you Jen.

Seriously, if the wait is that long what is the freaking point? Now I don't have to worry about getting tested. It's not like I have anywhere else I can go for 3-7 days while waiting for results, and the reports say it's most communicable during the first 5 freaking days, so by the time I got the results I'd pretty much know the answer anyway, or not be a major risk to other people.

Now I just have to decide if I wanna risk running to a store, or ....just live of canned food:(
