Thank you to the test site staff.

Just arrived at my local drive thru test site and burst into tears as the test operative asked me to wind the window down. She was so kind and caring. Frankly it's a grim task that they're doing, surrounded by barbed wire and working out if temporary containers in risky conditions. The kindness I was shown made such a difference. Thank you

Should add, I'm hone now and in bed.

First time testing? It’s such a bizarre experience isn’t it. Hope you’re not suffering symptom wise and it passes through quickly!

I had a test on Sunday and the people were lovely.

When I was finished, my eyes were streaming (I sneezed five times and seem to be very sensitive to the bloody test). He said “you can stop crying now” and made me laugh! Lovely people & it must be a really crappy job

Yes, first time being tested. All felt rather dystopian but well organised and efficient. Apparently quite a few people get emotional at the test centre which made me feel less odd!
