Took about 30 mins waiting in the car, nice lady in head to toe PPE took her details then swabbed her nose. So we're all back in isolation until the results are in.

Doesn’t hurt to get checked out, I wouldn’t have a clue where to go for testing. Might have to phone doctor, or local council ?

I wonder if these testing stations will be open Easter since we have to stay home.

With seasons changing, there’s always sniffles, sore throats, sneezes and so forth. Whatever the wintry winds blow in.
There may be more tests done during the colder months.

I was astonished to see how Australia is right up there for having tests done 👍 sometimes, there had to be something that does amaze me with our pollies 😆

Easter is cancelled. The reason I had access to this drive-thru clinic is because I live in a hotspot. I'd not have wasted a test if I lived in an area where a contact was unlikely.

As for Australia, we're actually doing VERY well with the tests.
Sort this list by tests per/1M and we're towards the top of the list.
Next sort it by cases per/1M and we're towards the bottom.

We're actually, so far, doing really well.

Yeah.............

How about first, good luck Gordon to you and your family. Hope it's just the common cold or at the last a very very mild case if it is COVID-19.

All differences aside, genuinely wishing you and yours all the best.

Good news!

There are only 3 drive-thru CoVid testing sites in the whole state of Georgia which is typical behaviour for American *conservatives* ...
