Presented with COVID symptoms today so wanted to get tested. The places taking appointments are open for 2 hours a day and the soonest appointment was Thursday. Found a walk in site and have been in line for 45 minutes.
This is not what a city taking COVID seriously looks like

Anna Mae Cole has been incredibly speedy for a year, but they have had their hours cut back so much. You used to zip in and out and get the results in 12 hours-- which is critical time when you need to know if you have COVID or another illness that needs different treatment.

Nor is it how a Commonwealth takes it seriously…
Hmm, maybe instead of LIFTING a state of emergency that allowed for more flexible rapid response () we should have, oh I dunno, left it in place?

Is the airport the only place left to do rapid walk ins and they charge a lot. florida had them on the side of road in miami for free!!

If you want to try something quick, they have an over the counter test you can buy at CVS, not as accurate as a PCR, but only takes about 15 min.

Mentioned this to someone else, but about a quarter a million people will be moving back to Boston this week and next week for College, and this is likely impacting testing in and around the city. Many schools are providing on campus testing but not all of them.
