    @NEVER taking that test. No one is forcing you. It's a simple test dont make it sound like it's so bad. I was there when someone took it and it was not so bad like you are painting it.

    People dont let people scare you the choice is yours. No one is saying you have or have not the virus. The thing is will this help you to find out. Choose wisely peace

    This article has nothing to do with borders it has to do with marking the right choice. Get tested the life you save may be your own. Think about family and friends not selfishness. We were not brought up on selfishness we were brought up on love
