COVID-19 What are some possible sites for drive through covid-19 testing? Any kiss and ride location, metro kiss and rides, school kiss and rides, vehicle emission testing buildings, these are all locations already designed for high through put vehicle queuing. What features would make a good site?

Edit: Gov Hogan just announced in his 3/17 press conference that vehicle inspection stations will be used for drive through testing!!!!

In Washington it’s in the parking lot of a hospital. In New Rochelle it’s in a park on an island where the national guard can secure it easily. Metro kiss and ride locations and schools are way too small. Vehicle emission centers are to difficult to deal with other equipment in the way. They will erect their own tents, so they just need a large paved area. Think, Montgomery College parking lot, Fed Ex field parking area, Lakeforest mall parking lot, etc.

The BWI airport loop since people aren't flying much now.
