I Took the Antibody Test and Tested Positive
And I have to admit, I was extremely relieved
Last Monday, my fiancé and I finally went to our local urgent care office to get tested for coronavirus antibodies. The process in which it took for us to finally get the test done in-person was slightly more complicated than we anticipated it to be.
After all, there’s recently been nonstop promotion in New York in regards to getting tested. These have been in the form of television commercials, paper mail, sponsored ads on social media, and more. So, once we finally felt comfortable enough to make our appointment, we assumed that it would be seamless.
Instead, it took a few extra steps.
It started with a google search to locate the nearest testing location in our neighborhood, followed by an online appointment request, which later turned into an appointment request over the phone.
Once we locked in our appointment over the phone, we then had to first be “interviewed” via video call to assess our reasoning for wanting the antibody test before we were able to visit in-person. Finally, after the video call, we then had an in-person appointment scheduled.
That appointment happened last Monday.
