Okay, I wouldn't have to quarantine or be tested after the trip, but... dude, I'd have to rent a Zipcar, drive to an unfamiliar location in a state I have only visited via train, and do terrible things to my lungs. In a medical setting. In a quarantine-worthy state.
To verify that my lungs and nervous system and circulatory system hadn't been fucked up.
I"m calling LHI back to have them reschedule the exam for a date when I don't have to leave Massachusetts.
