[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how people will be able to get rapid tests?

FWIW, my kid woke up vomiting at 1:30am, and I tried to find a rapid test appointment in MoCo through cvs today but none are available.

Are we spiking, or is it always tough to get a test when you need one? [/quote]

I think it’s always tough, especially for kids. Try a pediatric urgent care or your ped’s office. [/quote]

Our ped will do a virtual visit this morning to determine if testing is needed, but the results aren’t guaranteed today (it’s a 24 hour window).

This is why parents will send their kid to school if they look/feel/act fine.

If it’s impossible to get a same day rapid test at cvs, etc.  then how will the mcps policy work? It’s likely most people won’t be able to get same day results. I tried looking for an appointment at 2am, and I couldn’t find anything. [/quote]

Now you're starting to understand why it was a bad idea for MCPS to re-open in-person.

Go to the CVS at 360 Hungerford Dr..  As of this morning, it says that there are still home testing kits available there.  Home tests give more false positives, but it's better than nothing while you try to arrange a PCR.  Good luck.[/quote]
