o my god! wtf! That is a truly horrible situation you are in! Agree, science is a good foundation, but indeed, those who deal with scientific information may not be trusted all the time. In my country, private labs do a bit more professional approach to testing, but they use the same/similar tests like we can get done ourselves at home. No PCR as well. That said, we can get a PCR test the same day or the next day and don't have to queue, we make an appointment. In/Out in like minutes. Also, in my country, sick leave is 100% paid, full stop. I think that makes it easier in our system. Still thinking about your story while writing and am a little in shock at how it is all arranged in your country. WTF!

Laibach: WOW! I kinda like this one! Soooooo slow and dark with bass-like voice! But hard in its own way! Nice :)

Bee Gees: So nice to hear this one after a pause of at least a few decades!

When I read 'It's My Life', I thought: does does does she know this UK (ex-)band Talk Talk? Well, turned out it was not them... But maybe you know Talk Talk anyways :)
