What’s with huge lines around City MD. Are people dying to confirm the have Covid or is it for weekly testing for work. Haven’t seen those lines a long time.

I thought it’s for travel but Christmas is over.

Scalpers, people wanting to pop positive for time off work, and then there are just the non-thinkers...

Goes back to what I noted in another thread. NYC and the COVID hysteria.

Run to City MD for a COVID test and make sure you adjust your mask, as if that is going to stop you from getting COVID.

Finding out you're positive for Covid doesn't stop you from getting Covid but it helps you stop others from getting it from you. That is if you stay home and isolated for a few days after testing positive.

Omicron is a different animal, we all getting it. No vaccine or prior infection is stopping this thing.

Good news is that its basically a cold.

Is that how it works?? (or doesn't)

So, if Im sick with symptoms, I should head outdoors into a large crowd and wait for hours to find out if it's "covid" so I can stay home and isolate for a few days to not get others sick?

Makes a lot of sense, right?
