Yep. In South Korea they pioneered drive up testing: https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/02/asia/coronavirus-drive-through-south-korea-hnk-intl/index.html:WetEV said:We better not get this one wrong. A lot is at stake. The USA has flubbed up so far.
South Korea is doing far better at testing than the USA.
...
Modeling suggests the USA probably has total cases in the high hundreds to low thousands. And doubling every week or so. The USA better get up to speed double quick pronto.
Officials say it is safer and faster to test for the virus at the drive-through than in a hospital or health clinic.
"There's less face-to-face contact," said Lee Jae-joon, the mayor of Goyang. "If you operate a testing site indoors, there is concern that suspected patients can infect each other in the waiting room."
It seems insane that there are stories of people, including sick healthcare workers who are facing roadblocks to getting tested.
