Or to get tested before that. Assuming they are not all furloughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRVMP Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 How is testing working over there? It's a bit of a free-for-all here in Texas. I had to take a test just before Christmas and it involved driving to a vacant lot, giving them $120, getting a nasal swab, waiting 15 minutes, then getting the all-clear, then going to 7-Eleven to buy lager. (The last step was optional, admittedly.) Is it that fast and cheap in Scotland? edit: the upshot of the question is - how quick and dirty is testing, can it easily accommodate fixture changes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been a couple of times to the drive-through which is at the local showgrounds in a giant shed and it's quick and efficient, with results by text the following morning (if negative). The test is the swab in throat then both nostrils. Walk-in testing sites available as well, as completely free (unless it's as part of an appointment you are paying for anyway).

Elite sportspeople can get the test that takes 15minutes but I'm sure they said the cost of that would be a couple thousand to do the whole matchday staff.

TRVMP Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 To be clear, you can get free/subsidized tests here too. I just mean that there is plenty of scope for private enterprise to dole out tests in pretty much any way they see fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have drive-through ones here in WA. The one I went to was a walk-in in a large temporary marquee type structure at the local hospital. Strange thing was that it was pay and display parking, so everyone going for the test needed to press the touch-screen display to get their parking ticket. No-one nearby to wipe down the display after each customer. No wipes nearby to let you do it yourself. Look at her riding pillions on Davy’s sea-bike, carrying an apoplectic macaw in a silver hoop. Oh, Morton, let’s go there this winter! Or learning the Japanese chinchona from that Kobe group, in a dress that looks like a blowtorch rising from one knee, and which should sell big in Texas. Morton, is that real fire? Happy, happy little girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
