Anyone tested at a drive-through over the weekend?

Have you had your results?

I'm trying hard not to get too frustrated. DD picked up a cold middle of last week (from a friend whose DD had a negative COVID test result the day before). By the weekend I was full of cold and after a horrendously congested night I woke Saturday morning not able to smell or taste anything.

99.9% sure I didn't have COVID but I booked a test because the rules said I had to. Drove 40 miles and over an hour each way for the earliest test, did test at 1pm Sat.

Still no results so despite now feeling fine and no symptoms, I can't go to work and DH can't take DD to her activity. Apparently over 90% of people get their results next day.

Am I just unlucky or do we think there was a big spike in demand over the weekend?

@OldEvilOwl pretty much simultaneously, text maybe 90 seconds earlier. And DH tested at the same time as me and had his results about 5 mins before I did.
