Does anyone know of anywhere around Birmingham that does drive up testing? I’ve been lucky as I’ve never had to be tested to this point, but I started feeling bad yesterday ans have a few symptoms. I’ve tried to find the at home test kits but they are all out and I went to the doc in a box when they opened this morning. It there were 20+ people already in line to get in the door.

They had one on Hwy 11 in Trussville. That's where I had mine done last year.

Walgreens has drive thru tests by appointment. Doc in the box places here in Auburn at least have tests by appointment.

Most places are appt only.....and at least around here they’re 2-3 days out and only doing PCR tests which take another 1-2 days for results. By the time you get tested and get results, you’ll probably be past the quarantine time anyway. It’s ridiculous that they want everyone to run out and get tested but when you actually try to, you can’t.

Fork ‘em.....I’m done with this BS. It’s been 8 days since symptoms showed up, 6 since I got tested and 5 since I’ve shown symptoms. I’m over it

I had a friend go yesterday to a walk-in urgent care facility and was told they did not have any more COVID tests but was told she has it and the same medical professional said her lungs were clear even though she has been coughing stuff up. She ended up in the hospital the first week of March, 2020 with what I still suspect was the Rona. They did not have the tests then, but she was placed on a nasal cannula for supplemental oxygen and given hydroxychloroquin (sp?) and was discharged a couple days later with a script for a nebulizer and a specific med to use with it so she went home and has been doing the same thing at home this time. She said she has been running a temp of 99.5 to 101.5 with alternating Tylenol and Advil. She thinks that it is just an upper respiratory infection and she may be correct, but she is not vaxxed due to nearly dying from a reaction to one as a kid. So, who knows, but whoever she saw yesterday was apparently not very professional according to her as this person’s n refused to listen to everything she was trying to tell was going on along with her history.

I was able to round up an over the counter test and tested positive not sure how accurate they are. I felt rough yesterday and last night but feel better today. I did have the phizer vaccine back in April but never got the booster hopefully I’m on the mends now and no one else in the house gets it. My wife is 6 months pregnant. I’m not sure where I picked it up at haven’t been around anyone that I know was positive.
