covid 1

 There were two bars on the covid test yesterday, therefore it was positive, Attempting to be a good citizen and so forth, make an appointment at the local test centre for a confirmation. Fill out an online form last night, there is an appointment free in the early morning,

Get up early in the morning and shower and go to the test centre. It is on the main street of the town, and at six twenty seven in the morning there is a young woman outside smoking her cigarette. She is wearing grey scrubs. At six thirty in the morning a young chinese couple turn up, and stride into the test centre. Let them go ahead, this is of no consequence. Listen to the young woman tell them that they will need to pay forty Euros each for whatever reason. They discuss quickly, then leave.

Hand over my piece of paper, and then the woman asks for documentation that had not been required on the internet specification. Now there will be a charge.

This is ridiculous, this is just a private firm trying to make as much money as is possible. Explain the problem again and recieve a card with a telephone number on it and get advice to go to the main test centre.

To attend here you need to have a car, it is a drive in only set-up outside of town. And they only open after nine in the morning.

The whole business is a digital nightmare.
