I’d been self-isolating fairly rigorously with my boyfriend by this point, and the chances of either of us being positive were slim, but I live in close proximity to an immunocompromised person and wanted some peace of mind.

So once they opened up testing to the asymptomatic, I went to the Community Assessment Center down near my home in East Nashville. It’s set up in the parking lot of Nissan Stadium, the city’s largest stadium.

(I forgot to tell the first nurse that I was recording, so I summarized our conversation.)
