Line from Urgent Care blocking traffic on College Dr.

Never thought I'd see the day when there was literally a line of cars blocking a lane on College Drive and the Urgent Care parking lot was 110% full (I say over 100% because people were parking on the grass and sidewalk around the building).
All to get a Covid test that could have been achieved with a rapid test at Walgreens and for a diagnosis that will include:
1. Go home
2. Get in bed
3. Take Tylenol/Nyquil
4. If symptoms worsen, go to a hospital
No wonder there's a strain on Urgent Cares/ERs. People just go to them in a panic.

Or the leaches that go to the ER for just a test.

What did you expect when the Poopy Pedo and Darth Fauci are prognosticating Doom and gloom and death…for a cold

No one has the home tests in stock and people need the test to fly or work.
Let’s go, Brandon!

I'm not surprised when you take into account social media and your leaders at the state/federal levels continue to stoke the fear porn of this pandemic. We have trained society to be scared and run to your ER/Urgent cares for things people never use to go for.
I'm not saying don't go to your doctor if you feel sick but scaring people to the level which we have been doing has not been a good thing for this country.

People who quarantined due to exposure or having the virus may need a negative test to return to work.

I don’t think you can find home rapid tests anywhere at the moment. That said, I’ve also seen the following nonsense via Apple News:
- if you have the sniffles, it’s prob covid
- if you take a covid test and it’s negative, you prob have covid anyway
Then if you test positive, they want you to get another test in order to log the stats to drive up numbers. It’s insanity.

They block the lanes for Taco Bell, Popeyes and Canes so why not for a covid test?

Are these people who need a test for work?
If not, why the hell are people getting tested? Go home. Rest. Idiots.

Newsflash, most of them use the same test as Walgreens too… Abbott binaxnow, free from the government, so they must be stockpiling them In Fort Knox

Getting a test at this point seems pointless. If you ever leave your house, you are coming in contact with people that have COV.

Haven't they heard President Biden has ordered 500 million home tests? The order has been placed.

who is being forced to quarantine due to exposure?
What the frick does that even mean? If you aren't sick, you're a fricking idiot for quarantining yourself.
People are stupid.
