   Found a city-owned facility that offers #COVID-19 testing, so I'm going to head over there this morning. I think this is just a cold, but there are four people coming to the building tomorrow for a training class (despite it being closed due to the recent #coronavirus outbreak in #NYC) and I'm supposed to be there.
   
   As @bthall said when we were discussing it over Wire, it is super weird to have that exception to "the building is closed and no one is allowed on-site". But there it is.

     Turns out they only test city employees. They suggested a public testing center two blocks away. After I walked five blocks without seeing it, I returned to the hotel. One bonus: I walked right past "the jenga building" ... if you saw it, you would immediately know it.

     There is a sculpture at the bottom that resembles a giant drop of the liquid metal mercury.
     
     In all honesty, the building is pretty ugly when you look up at it from the sidewalk, but it stands out.
