I take it the 30 seconds was you walking back to the car. What interests me is the fact it was received in the lab at 2:08:40 and was tested and results released at 2:08:40, i.e. it took 0 seconds for the test to be carried out. Test takes < 0.5 seconds to carry out?
I’m also a licensed lab tech (ie the douche bags who do these tests) they have wuts called turn around times they have to meet. I used to do it all the time, run a test, and when it’s finished, I’d receive it and enter results all at once. So that doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is I don’t know of a single fucking test that takes less than 3 minutes and I got a “congrats you’re covid pregnant” literally in 30 seconds from swabbing my nose. Even those rapid pregnancy tests take 3-5 minutes.
