Why are people doing this?



Stupidity and selfishness mostly. My guess is a lot of them want confirmation they are not positive for it so they have justification for ignoring the quarantine recommendations. A lot are probably just curious. A small number may actually need the test.

It is impossible to put into words how embarrassed I am about the behavior of my country right now. Hoarding TP like there are no more pine trees in Alabama, buying up ammo like it's time for the Wolverines to reunite, and now lines and lines of perfectly healthy people using up test kits that might be needed on someone with real symptoms.

Heaven forbid an illness like Ebola ever took off here.

It's about to get even worse.

Y'all see that pollen piling up on your vehicles? How many dumb bastards are going to start sniffling due to their yearly allergies and think they have this virus?

A metric frickton. And they'll all overrun the testing centers and hospitals.

People are so, so stupid.
