CV and mad panic behaviour

[Lods]

Folk here on the Bellarine Peninsula are reporting that they're getting their PCR test results within 24 hours.  The pressure on the system must have eased.

The introduction of RAT testing should have had an effect on reducing waiting times for PCRs but...
People are fed up with waiting for hours in a queue....knowing that there is no guarantee of a quick...or as has been seen 'no' result
RAT test are offered as an alternative....but you can't get them without great difficulty
I suspect some folks have reached the point where they feel a bit abandoned and left to their own devices.
It becomes dangerous when caught in this type of limbo because rather than getting tested when they should, people are waiting until their symptoms become more entrenched, or obvious.
I think a lot of these folks are still conscious of the need to stay home and as such are self isolating but they're putting themselves at risk of accessing help much later than they should.
