Francine De Sanctis says
I’m glad to see the Spy keeping on top of this pandemic again. Residents can make an appointment with the Dept of Health in Easton, and drive up to the old Black and Decker building. Unlike in the past, results are ready within 2 hours! So the excuse of long waiting times has gone away. Testing at home, while good, does not allow medical teams to track results, unless individuals call in results to the Health Dept. Best estimate is that the recorded numbers of infected people represents only HALF of the real infection rate. So you do the math!
