Just Like South Korea, U.S. To Begin Drive-Thru Testing for Coronavirus
This idea first implemented in South Korea just make a lot of sense for a variety of reasons if there are enough test kits to support it:
U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday introduced drive-through tests as part of efforts to fight the coronavirus, a week after he questioned the effectiveness of the method widely used in South Korea.
Trump made the announcement during a White House press conference at which he declared a national emergency to fight the growing outbreak in the United States.
“We’ve been in discussions with pharmacies and retailers to make drive-through tests available in the critical locations identified by public health professionals,” he said. “The goal is for individuals to be able to drive up and be swabbed without having to leave your car.”

Every Paranoid Patty will be first to drive thru and will lose their mind when they refuse to test someone who is asymptomatic. I’ll wait for the YouTube edition. A few friends who work in hospitals in the US aren’t worried about getting the virus, they’re more concerned with the overcrowded ER because no one will stay home and call the doctor or for those with poor health care will sneeze once and park themselves in a chair.
If the test also covers the other types of flu, it’s a bargain!
