How long does it take to get covid 19 test results back?

I want to make sure I have a front row seat when Pence's test comes back. I'm not sure it will be positive , but I can hope.

1. Why do you think the results would be announced?

12. They might announce the results, but no one would believe the announcement.

That's what happens when your boss is a pathological liar.

17. They announced that he was exposed. People will be wondering.

2. We're currently running at about a three-day turnaround.

Just got the results of my second test (ordered after our maintenance man died of COVID-19) - Negative.

We're probably going to have a memorial lunch in his honor next week. We're still shocked and heartbroken.

3. Good

I haven't had so much hatred for a vice president since Dick Cheney

4. They are using the ones that provides results

almost immediately. From what I heard on tv yesterday they have a 20% false negative problem.

14. And there it is...

Katie Miller tested negative yesterday and today she was positive.

5. Depends on who you are 🙂

6. There is a 15-minute test, which apparently is what the WH is using, but

questions have been raised about the test's accuracy - they might be returning 15% false negatives.

9. They have had time to issue the all clear.

Hopefully there is a group scrambling furiously trying to figure out how to spin it.

16. Dr Gupta is talking about that now on CNN.

7. You can't trust ANYTHING from this camp at all?

10. My daughter had the "painful" one.....

WAY up the nose........
She works in a hospital (Occupational Therapist) and awoke with a sore throat - the admin. insisted on a test (she wanted one anyhow!).
They told her 1 to 3 days.
Called back the next day - NEGATIVE!

(yeah, VERY relieved!)

11. Thank goodness

[MyOwnPeace]

15. Yes, indeed! Thank you!

(pretend that there's 6 feet of separation there!)

It took about 48 hours.
