    Watching these scenes in the UK is bizarre Living in Sydney, my experience of getting a COVID-19 test: rock up at 7:30am, wait 10 mins, get test, self-isolate until 5:30pm that day when a text came in to tell me it was negativehttps://twitter.com/REWearmouth/status/1306571083357868043 …

        Additionally, all the information was publicly available online, there was no cost to me, and no referral needed just a walk-in clinic So easy!

        Sweden is having trouble to keep up with demand but at least you either book a certain time at a test center, of you have a friend pick up a home test kit at the pharmacy and then you just return the sample when you are done So no standing in line for hours

        Testing is definitely something that makes me pretty proud of Australia. NSW alone has a higher number of weekly tests than Sweden, and our population is only 4/5 as big!

        The sad thing about this photo is, there was no testing service. Just a tent and a portaloo. The North East of England is in lockdown again, people are desperate. It's dysopian.

        I wonder are there any of the super rich in this lineup for tests or are they sourcing their tests from somewhere else with their privilege?

        My wife, an rn, had to wait 9 days for her test result while she isolated in one our bedrooms. 9 days of worry, 1 parent taking care of kids & household, and her being off work.
