Performed and organized by the military and Red Cross ?

Slovakia has already done so.

Austria wants to test up to 7 of the 9 million people in the country in 2-3 weeks.

I have no clue how this would work here, even if the army is known for good logistics. Basically like an election day or something with drive-through stations.

Still unsure if I will take part in this ... (lean no).

Yes. But I'd much rather take the vaccine as soon as it's rolled out.

Austria is not "ordered" though.

Not yet, but they plan to start with these mass tests on December 5th.

Yes. In a national level it can be difficult, but in a local level that should be quite easy. I would do that if it was done here in Portugal, but that will probably never happen here.

To be clear, I meant that I'm not advocating for government-ordered Masses.

It is genuinely impossible to imagine an American government with the capacity to do this kind of thing.

I would never take a COVID test so long as it remains as invasive as it is.

I get the nasal swab every three weeks followed by a week in isolation. It’s not a terrible test. The military is supposed to be one of the first to get the vaccine and I can’t wait to be a guinea pig for the rest of America.

The bloated and overfunded US military is not anywhere near competent enough to pull this off in America.

this is true, I was worried, but there was almost no pain.

cite?  I've heard "employees and residents at nursing homes" and I've heard "front line medical workers" were first.

I wasn't so much a partial thread title, but when I scanned the page and saw the words mass Corona, I momentarily thought of my astronomy class and Coronal Mass Ejection.

I haven't had a Covid test and I'd rather not get one since it sounds unpleasant and there is no need for it in New Zealand. If I need to though I'm not going to be selfish and undermine the wellbeing of the community, I'll just take the test.

Yes, but not because of civic duty or anything but because I am sure that the government will fine those who don't take the test willingly (to later forcing them to test anyways).

I will take a test any time and anywhere it's offered. There's really no reason not to just be tested frequently so that you can relax. Whenever I get a negative test result, my anxiety recedes (for about 72 hours Tongue)

So, this is getting real ...

My state will mass-test its population on December 12-13.

I’m pretty sure that I’m negative, but considering it’s „free of charge“ and will take 5 minutes and organized like an election, I will probably take part.

On the other hand, you could just see more infections because of it if all those undetected infected people are standing in line ...
