It's going to take them TWO WEEKS to test these kids? OMG!
That's total B.S. I work at Deer's Head Hospital and it is a simple test which only involves a needleprick on your arm and you get it read 48-72 hours later. If you test positive they send you for a chest x-ray. What's the hold up??? That is outrageous!!
