These ‘unpleasant times’ we are living through have many aspects.
One of them was that, when the Govt set up the private Lighthouse labs (with it’s business friends) to do PCR tests, it banned the Public Health labs from doing the same.

But, still, the Govt is promoting private businesses ahead of public.

paid for a test then assume it's not valid."
Follow the money.
