Will set up 0900 appointment on 4/30 so that will have result and paperwork in hand by lunch time

Thanks for responses, I thought that getting the test in the US sounded incorrect but the wording was so poor, I just wanted to be sure I was getting what i needed to get home.

Shouldn't need PCR.

Also, as far as I could tell for two recent returns from abroad, the only entity actually concerned with the test is the airline. No one is checking any test status when you arrive back here in the states.

In fact, friend of my just transited ORD immigration and the immigration folks were yelling at the pax to "Bunch together! Ignore the markings on the floor! COVID is over!"
