“Dear PoPville,
I am supposed to be traveling very soon and yesterday started experiencing muscle soreness and other potential COVID symptoms. I want to get a test but there are so many reports of tests taking 2-3 weeks!!
I haven’t knowingly been exposed, but I want to keep my family, other people on the planes, etc safe and of course don’t want to travel if I am sick. I would just cancel, but it’s not a vacation/leisure trip. I really have to go unless I’m sure I have COVID.
What are people’s latest experiences with firehouse testing turn around times?
Are there other testing sites where people have gotten a good turn around? I don’t have a primary care physician so getting a referral might not be possible, but if that’s the way to go, I will. The Farragut Medical and Travel Care center says I can get a rapid test there, but they don’t take insurance and it’ll be $300. I 100% do not have that kind of money right now.”
Just received negative COVID results back in ~24 hours from a free #DC testing site (one of the partner sites with @CoreResponse ). Smooth experience overall, results delivered to my existing LabCorp account. @PoPville pic.twitter.com/iFrQj8fari

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
