Omicron test by Macy’s
After the Christmas, the omicron is surging. (Is covid-19 still around or extinct?) Last time in the city (Dec 17), every testing tent I passed by, had no patrons. Today, there are lines.
Yesterday, Sunday, Dec 26, 12:45pm @ Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care
Yesterday, we went to a local testing site. Two people were waiting. The front desk lady is rude. She ignored us and went away … then came back, self talking … went away … then back again. I repeat my reason to be there, she said they’re fully booked for the day. “What about tomorrow?” I asked.
“Schedule on line.” She pointed to the sign.
I got on my phone to book: only today (12.26) and tomorrow are clickable BUT both days have NO openings. Customer service replied on my Yelp review.
Today: Monday, Dec 27, 9am @ CityMD
We then, went to CityMD. They were fully booked for the day and don’t take reservation. This morning, we went a little before 9, thinking we were early. But NO. The long line is winding into Merrivale Road, from their Northern Blvd location.
In the afternoon, New York City, 34th Street, opposite from Macy’s, there are multiple tents for Antigen, some are rapid (I got my result in a hour; they ask for your saliva too.), while the other takes a day or two. Waiting time: rapid test take a little longer, about half an hour; the day-long one is very quick, as soon as one finished form, you’re being tested.
