The first car arrived at a New Jersey testing site at 11:55 p.m., more than eight hours before testing was scheduled to start.
PARAMUS, N.J. – The night was cold and silent, and John Dougherty wasn’t taking any more chances. He drove slowly. When hehe pulled his white Honda minivan onto the shoulder of the three-lane suburban highway. He spun the key to kill the engine. It was 2:55 a.m.
So on Tuesday, in the middle of the night, he arrived at Bergen Community College. Lauren, wearing pajamas, rode in the back seat, as far away from her father as she possibly could sit. Dougherty’s plan: Beg the doctors to make an exception, and test them both. It wasn’t much. To prevent his daughter from getting the virus, apparently, it was the best that anyone could do.The US confronting coronavirus without the CDC is 'like fighting with one hand tied behind your back'The first car, a black Lexus SUV, parked at the entrance to Bergen Community College at 11:55 p.m. ET, more than eight hours before testing was scheduled to start.
For an hour, the line grew by ones and twos. By 4 a.m., another car seemed to join the line every minute. At 5 a.m., 101 cars sat in a row that stretched half a mile south. No one camped in tents on the shoulder of Paramus Road on Tuesday morning. No one smiled. Everyone stayed in their cars, running the heat. Most people reclined their seats and tried to catch a little sleep.
She’s too congested to lie down. Instead, she tries to sleep by wedging her body between two columns of pillows.
