Quote of the day:
“You see these signs from doctors all around the nation saying ‘stay home and keep safe’ but there are people who don't have homes,” says Nana Afoh-Manin. “People say ‘go see your doctor’ but there are people that only go to the ER because they don't have doctors.”
But its biggest initiative has been pop-up drive-thru testing centers, where anyone can stop by for a COVID-19 serology test, regardless of if they’re exhibiting symptoms. Afoh-Manin chose serology testing because, “even though it’s not perfect,” it informs patients of their likelihood of having the infection and the presence of antibodies that indicate whether or not they have an immune response to the virus.
The more than 3,000 medical professionals that offer their time and services for myCovidMD do so on a volunteer basis. They also help keep the testing environment fun and uplifting rather than sterile and scary. Patients waiting from their cars are greeted with music playing from a DJ and friendly, approachable staff, Afoh-Manin says.
