Test Iowa actually works pretty well

I got exposed to someone with Covid last Saturday (a week ago).

Sat next to him for about 8 hours. He became symptomatic the next day.

We went on Friday (yesterday) and all five of our family and they stuck those long swabs up our noses and it took all of ten minutes.

Got results today. All of us are negative, which is a HUGE relief.

Final note: WHO GETS ON A "PARTY BUS" during a freaking pandemic????

Hope we never have to test the system to the max.

Does anyone know what the guidelines are for repeated tests? The possibility of getting exposed will rise in the coming weeks and expect I'll come in contact with someone who has it again. How often can we be tested?
