Testing positive for COVID when not tested

I will 1st say that I have not 1st hand knowledge of this but have heard it several times from people here in Memphis.
Has anyone heard of this?
Some of the testing centers (hospitals) have lines that have been as long as an 8 hour wait in your car.
I’m guessing they get your info pretty early I don’t know but I’ve heard from a few people, who heard from others that people get in line and decide not to wait while in line and leave prior to getting a test.
A few day later they get notice they have tested positive.
Any credence to this?

Seems like you’ve got solid sources

This stupidity has been making the rounds for months.

If you can die in a motorcycle crash and have it registered as a China Virus death it stands to reason that you could never have China Virus and test positive.
When you are making up shite on the fly for politics the sky is the limit.

Go talk to Bubbles, Ricky. He'll explain it to you in language you can understand.

It seems like they would verify info before proceeding, so this seems unlikely outside of gross incompetence by location.
At our doctor for basic blood or lab work I get walked a few doors down by the nurse who hands orders directly to lab employee in front of me, and they still always make me verify some personal identifying info before starting.

How big of a puss do you have to be to sit in the car for 8 hours to see if you got the sniffles?

I actually know two couples from different areas in Alabama that this happened to
They went to get tested. Filled out paperwork. Realized wait was astronomical so they left.
Got a call a few days later from the testing site saying they were positive.
I don't understand why people can't believe this. It's what happens when you attach bonus money to positive tests

I generally take it as Facebook rumor mill and I’m a Covid tough guy even. However, nothing would surprise me now. Medical field people claiming one thing then denying it the next day. Nobody has a damn clue but oh you better listen to me because I work in the medical field!

From the poli board yesterday
Rest of story was about how states were including antibody tests in positive cases as new positive cases

Will tell you the BLM riots had nothing to do with an increase in COVID.

No no no no. Don't get it twisted. That is not at all what people are saying. People know this could happen. The comments in this thread are directed at the fact that every random person in every random place is claiming they "heard from someone who knows someone" this happened to.
Much like the psychotic conspiracy theorists who think THIS ridiculous typed up Instagram photo is real solid proof that these people flew on Epstein's plane.
So over people being such complete dinguses.
If you're getting your information from someone who knows someone who knows someone, I ain't buying it.
EDIT - And I do 100% believe this has happened to people. I just haven't heard it from anyone with any first or even secondhand experience, so it is stupid.

Huh?
You must be new here then. I think covid is absurd and I've been in a restaurant or bar nearly every day for the past 2 months.
Just people of even my own ilk make us look like ignoramuses when they make up Facebook mommy stories.
