My brother in the next days should reach Bulgaria, to his gf.
Today he had to go for a molecular test, required if you want to leave Italy, so I brought him to the center where the test should have to take place. Basically a new private hospital at about 1h by car from home, which is the only one that obtained a qualification for these kind of things..
Well, we arrived at 12:30 pm, a steward at the entrance
"turn around past parking area and go behind the other cars" (this test is at hospital's drive-in, so you just remain inside your car). Now, since he had a reservation and he paid 65 € for this test (he did everything online), I was expecting they called him suddenly, but noooo... On their website it is written they do the test only to who reaches drive-in first, so it is like
"The first arrival will be processed" (ah, and... if you have any problem, that for whatever reason you are unable to reach drive-in, you can't be refunded.. awesome!) and the time you requested reservation or your surname do not matter.
So we waited
3 hours in an endless queue, just to drive 500 metres ahead (but we had one hundred cars on those few metres) for a 30 seconds test that is needed to... hunt some positives to a flu?
Ostap, I'm going to suggest a new modification for your script that changes vulgar/offensive nicknames:
I LOVE THIS PANDEMIC
And, last, but not least, let me say a word about the operators. They where dressed with a white suit, like they were from a contamination area and they wore 2 pairs of latex gloves... When an operator ended a test, he/she put off the green gloves and used the sanitizing gel on the white gloves!
Then he/she wore a new pair of green gloves above the white gloves and kept going with another driver to test.
Now, this could be reasonable last year, in february-march... But now that we know what it is (and those operators should know better than us...
should...) and that they got vaccinated (the mythological vaccine, which is "safe"), why still going on like this? I feel like we are hopeless...
