Taking samples is great, but is the state actually able to process them? As of Thursday afternoon the backlog of unprocessed tests was at 65k. How long are people going to be waiting for results?
From the CA Dept of Public Health release:
> As of 2 p.m. PDT on March 26, approximately 88,400 tests had been conducted in California. This includes the latest numbers California has received from commercial and private labs and the 22 state and county health labs that are currently testing. Commercial, provider and academic labs have increased testing capacity and are now reporting that data to the state. The biggest labs included in this count include Quest, LabCorp, Kaiser, University of California and Stanford.
> At least 23,480 results have been received and another 65,000 are pending.

I was tested at the Menlo Medical Clinic on Middlefield last week (swab test). The signs in the parking lot were clear and I never had to leave my car. It was mid day and I was the only one there so it went very quickly. I was told it can take from 24-48 hours to get results, but my doctor and I had them by early the next morning.
