Having a car is not a requirement to get tested. It has made it really easy to get tested though. For what it’s worth, this isn’t our idea as a nation. Korea was doing it before us.

The drive through testing really does offload a lot of stress that would otherwise be placed on physicians and pharmacies. The logistics are a huge win. Locally we’ve had unoccupied parking structures used to house the tests. Even without that you basically just need a parking lot, a couple tents, and a restroom.

If you’re so sick you can’t drive you can have DoorDash or any other delivery service send you an at home test. If you’re too sick for that, you probably should call for medical services and not an antigen test.

I’m in Georgia, which has not offered any support for people during the pandemic beyond what the Federal government provided, and it’s pretty easy to get a test due to the efforts of private companies. If you don’t have a car you can often walk up provided there is a sidewalk. We also have testing available in every chain pharmacy and in dedicated facilities that have sprung up in unoccupied mall space or buildings used by bank branches and fast food establishments that are vacant.
