How "real-time" is our CV19 testing at this point? I am trying to decipher the statistics. I know there has been a huge backlog of tests obtained that haven't been run yet.

In NJ more recent tests are coming back in as little as 24 hours, but we are still awaiting tests done in the hospital a week ago.

AK is a mess. Most places still taking forever to come back. A friend just got his result 9 days after being swabbed.

In TX we now have quick tests (results in 45 mins) as of this week. Saves so much PPE. We are also double testing some people bc it is thought there may be up to 20% false negatives.

That's great to hear. It's really unfortunate how big of a difference there is in the speed and tests themselves! In some cases I've heard of false negative rates as high as 40% if done early on.

Our testing is taking anywhere from 2-5 days. ☹️
