So why don't they set up a system where your enter your details at home on the covid site. When your details are entered you get a confirmation text code and/or a bar code. So when you get to the testing station you only need to give the code. A system like when you buy event tickets or airline tickets. Your thought please.

Before it goes off to the dump, would anyone be interested in re-using any or all of the materials (they would have to dismantle themselves)? It would make for a great tree house! 🔨🌳🏠
