Thanks

Nothing has been announced.

We're probably too small of an area to get it anyway.

Thanks I am guessing if you are not sick enough to be considered for hospitalization they don't want you at the ER

I was told from a client that works at St. Joseph they they are setting up drive-through testing.

You can't just show up and get a test though. You have to speak with your general practitioner and get a test prescribed to you first.

No Real details other than that. It was just a general conversation I had with a client today.

The CHI-St Jo Express in College station has become the "Respiratory Clinic" for the entire system. They hope to have drive through testing enabled in the near future. They do not want people to just walk in they want to talk to the patients on the phone first and triage them prior to coming in then wait in the car until the doc is ready to see them.

Note that this is NOT my pediatric clinic which is the building closer to the access road! This is the building closer to Chick-Fil- A. Please do not come into the building that says PEDIATRICS and cough all over as we are trying very hard to limit staff & other patient exposures.

Nothing to do with BCS, but here in Tacoma they set up drive-through, but it's only for health care workers, first responders, etc. And only a five day event (3/21 - 3/25); tests are processed at UW - all appointments filed.

FWIW, here are our stats (Pierce County):

2,168 tested
2,061 negative
107 positive (we've had one death).
