I’m here now & they do as @S209 said. A rapid & if there is a positive they do an overnight to confirm. Nurse claims both tests are 80% accurate both ways, no higher rate of false negatives than positives. But there is also many inconclusive results
Do I actually have to come it and take the test, or can I just mail in my check?  ;)

Thank you appreciate the help

I mean what I said elsewhere, you clearly care a lot & have educated yourself about this. But don’t lower yourself to a yelling match too often.
I don’t want to take this thread OT as well so this will be my final post on this in this thread. Please feel free to PM me if you’d like an actual answer as to why I answer the way that I do sometimes. The answer might surprise you.

I’ve rarely if ever actually gotten upset over any post on DDF. I may be harsher in some replies, but as I’ve said, I can explain that via PM if you’d like. I also have met @avromie7, @CountValentine and some other posters I frequently debate on DDF and he and they are great people who’s opinions I respect and I have absolutely zero hard feelings towards any of them. They’re also quite intelligent with smart viewpoints and frequently make valid arguments and fair criticisms of my points. The debates are always about the content and never about the poster, at least as far as I’m concerned. Some overlap can seem to occur while arguments are being made but I have never harbored any ill will towards another DDF poster BH.

Hope that clears up any misunderstandings and I apologize if I have been unnecessarily harsh and some arguments have been perceived as personal attacks instead of intellectual debates. This goes for @ExGingi and @yaakov35 as well ;)

This will be my final post on this topic in this thread be”h.

do you know what type of test the rapid test is . Is it a pcp test or a antigen test and do you know what company it is from?

Permit test or new license?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

What’s the story with the Lakewood airport? Wanna take my kids to watch. Can I get in? Is there a place to watch from? They love planes so even if there isn’t that many flights they’d enjoy looking at the airplanes also if that’s possible.

just pull up and watch. There’s benches to sit on. Ull be pretty bored as take offs and landings are pretty scarce and they knocked down the little “terminal”.

Monmouth Executive is prob cooler to watch as they have jets but don’t know scheduled flights .

new license
New licenses are given priority, you need to be there before 8AM when the manager comes out to give "tickets" IIUC the ticket lets you get a slot for the next day. They have some sort of text message system set up to manage the tickets.

I haven't been to the DMV, all I know is what I see online.

You can just pull in to the lot, and park you r car and watch. The runway is right there.

It's pretty dead during the week. There's action on the weekends. On Shabbos & Sundays the planes take off with banners to fly along the beach.

Anyone know of local stores that have children’s bikes in stock?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.
