Holiday shoppers will be able to get COVID-19 tests as they buy presents with the opening of pop-up labs at Long Island's Roosevelt Field mall, Smith Haven Mall and Walt Whitman Shops.
Eight-foot by 20-foot collection sites are scheduled to open in the mall parking lots by the end of November, marking the latest step in taking COVID-19 testing beyond hospitals and clinics.
The walk-up collection sites will offer two kinds of tests for active cases of COVID-19 and one antibody test to detect if someone contracted the disease previously and has since developed antibodies.
also covid19 is harmless, for example 100,000 kids caught covid in july, if it was so deadly shouldt there have been 80,000 deaths or at least 50,000 deaths?
but you dont hear about deaths anymore because only 24 people died of covid yesterday, I would like to know how many people died in car accidents, heart attacks, cancer.
covid19 has mutated so much is not even a mild cold anymore
Almost 100,000 children in the U.S. were sickened with the coronavirus in the last two weeks of July, according to a new report.
The analysis, conducted by American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, revealed a 40 percent increase in COVID-19 cases in children between July 16 and July 30.
Surveying 49 states, New York City, Puerto Rico and Guam, the summary showed that children made up between 3 and 11 percent of total state tests. Between 3.6 and 17.8 percent of children tested positive for the virus. Not all states reported hospitalizations of children, but among those that did, children made up 0.6 percent to 3.7 percent.

No age group has suffered a 80% death rate, how did you come up with that number? Here's the reality regarding Covid among school aged kids:
Quote:
Among school-aged children with COVID-19, at least one underlying condition was reported for 7,738 (3%), including approximately 3% of adolescents and 2% of younger children. Among those with an underlying condition, chronic lung disease, including asthma, was most commonly reported (55%), followed by disability*** (9%), immunosuppressive conditions (7%), diabetes (6%), psychological conditions (6%), cardiovascular disease (5%), and severe obesity (4%). At least one underlying condition was reported for 16% of school-aged children who were hospitalized for COVID-19, 27% of those admitted to an ICU, and 28% of those who died. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6939e2.htm

Not necessarily I had the antibody also as they where taking blood anyways at my annual. I was told I wouldn’t be billed. It could just be cause we have really good insurance. If I knew they had to take extra blood I would t of got the test.

If you had no symptoms then aside from statistical purposes (or Albany trying to inflate numbers) I don’t see the point of an antibody test.

There were 1301 deaths from Covid yesterday, google is your friend https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/us-daily-deaths
The death rate has SEVERELY dropped compared to the beginning. Sure, covid is no joke, but it's looking like nothing more than the flu at this point, yet king coumo looking to start tightening the noose again. It's seriously overdone.
Even the covid-panicked (faux and otherwise) and Cuomo cheerleaders think a Governor setting a family Thanksgiving size limit of 10 is a bit of an overreach. (After all, we are talking about families in private homes.)
