Th...I've seen those New York lines on the news. That's crazy! No lines around here now. Earlier this year, the cars were lined up for the Walgreen's drive-thru testing. LINES! Three to four cars! It was impossible to pick up a prescription! AND, they'd shut down at the drop of a hat if they got a positive test, for about four hours, supposedly to deep-clean the store. Glad that's not my pharmacy.<br /><br />Apparently, the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many. So one person could find out they were positive, and sit at home petrified they were going to die, since no treatment was given, other than to "go to the ER if you can't breathe." Meanwhile a hundred people, relying on the meds they take to keep them alive, had to put off getting those meds until the store was "clean enough." I don't think pharmacies should be in the testing and vaccinating business. Or grocery stores, either! What happened to keeping those vaccines at that severe sub-zero temperature that only the military had freezers to transport and give those mass shot clinics?Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-84752250864112990172021-12-22T21:26:57.563-05:002021-12-22T21:26:57.563-05:00Our testing stations seem to be set up for cars on...Our testing stations seem to be set up for cars only, there are no walk in places that I know about, so we have cars lined up for hours, patiently creeping forward an inch at a time. Yesterday's wait time was about nine hours and get this..there are NO TOILET FACILITIES! You'd better have a strong bladder. Late yesterday they had some sort of light bulb moment and decided that those who were double vaxxed or had already been tested at the border ( I think, can't remember exactly I was eating dinner at the time) didn't need to wait in line they could go home, so about two thirds of the line vanished. <br />I personally don't care so much about the testing protocols, I don't go anywhere that has crowds except the local supermarket where everyone wears a mask, AND I'm planning on spending most of 2022 at home. Again.
