Just encountered the extreme limits of stupid.

Ok. I am in New Jersey ( there is a hint) picking up my reload.
They are serious about Covid-19, so hey not a problem I'll let you test me. Well get the temp test like most places, but they throw in a twist. They have got a couple walgreen people out here doing a test from "BioMedomics" that tests for Antibodies. They prick your finger get some blood and put it on a clear blue easy looking thing. Well guess what....I have both the IgM and the IgG Antibodies( look them up it's too long to explain). Well now I have to wear a mask and sit in my truck. All the other drivers can go inside to the toilet but not me, I have to stay ISOLATED in my truck.

The test is not designed to be used to detect an infectious person. It tests for a person that has been exposed and recovered, and there for is NOT contagious.

But then we are talking about NEW JERSEY. ;)

Well given where you are and what’s going on.

Can you be sure you aren’t being held, so they can force you to submit to blood transfusions?

Omega man...no you have to be 35 or younger to donate plasma.

That mask suits you well... Much improvement there....

Well, I’m glad you aren’t sick !!

What was stupid was letting anyone take your blood?
And from Wallgreens???
And results so quick?

Results could have been worse. You could have been pregnant.

Could the concern be that you are an asymptomatic carrier? Currently infected, possibly contagious, developing antibodies yet no symptoms.

It is the same procedure as the test they give you when you donate blood. Poke the end of the finger, collect a COUPLE drops of blood and put it on the test.

The walgreen lady is a Pharmacist and trained. They are not random people.

The test is designed to only take 15 minutes.

No not sick. But the test suggests that I have had, and recovered from Covid-19 in the last few months. I felt under the weather back just after Christmas, so that could have been it.
