This seems like a strange testing policy.

My hubby and I were planning a get-together with our daughter and two grand-daughters. We were all going to get tested at a Walgreens site. I did some trial registrations, just to see how hard it was to get an appointment, etc., and discovered (almost at the end) that they don't test people under 18.

You would think, with schools opening up for face-to-face, that kids are EXACTLY who you want to get tested, so you know whether you have to lock Gramma in her bedroom to keep her away from her a-symptomatic cutie pie.

We did get tested with our son and his family at one of two free testing places in the state, no appointment. But they close down on Sept 11. Anyway, our daughter lives in Maine.

What do you all think?
