The COVID tests are not free anymore, worse yet...
I don't know if any of my American friends have Shopper's Drug Mart where you are, but here in Canada, we have it.
I want to warn all my Canadian friends: Please DO NOT STEP INTO SHOPPER'S DRUG MART!
My daughter has done some research, and she found that Doug Ford has signed a contract with ALL Shoppers Drug Marts to test people with COVID symptoms. You run the risk of getting the COVID when you go into a Shopper's Drug Mart to shop. Worst yet, all tests are to be paid for by the people who go there for testing. It is NOT FREE anymore.
This contract was signed on November 16th, and tests have been carried out quietly for the past week already. No signs are up in any of the storefronts to advise shoppers. Innocent people who go into Shopper's Drug Mart to shop are at risk of being infected by the COVID. Also, are the people who have pre-existing illnesses lining up to get their medications are also at risk of being infected by the people who have the symptoms.
I do not think this is okay! Doug Ford and the big Pharma do not care about us. They only care about making money.
Pardon me, but it was also on TV and in the news...just in case you've missed it. My daughter's research was proven by the news. We knew this even before they actually announced this on the TV!!! A lot of people are now switching their pharmacy to a non-shoppers pharmacy.
In talking with the staff in Shopper's Drug Mart they are not happy about the arrangement either. Instead of sending somebody to the Shopper's for testing, Doug wants the Shopper's Drug Mart to assign one of their staff for testing. Imagine the one who has been assigned to do the testing all day how he/she may feel. This is totally wrong!!
Doug Ford has fired and laid off the doctors and nurses that are not vaccinated or have refused to be vaccinated, causing a shortage of staff in the hospitals across Ontario. Now, he wants the staff in the Shopper's Drug Mart Pharmacy to carry out such duties. It's totally ridiculous!
The last several years while the staff at the hospitals weren't vaccinated, there has been no problems, lives were saved, patients had been cared for, the nurses and doctors were treated with respect and were called "Heroes". Now, just because some would not get vaccinated for religious reasons they are being fired or laid-off like a bunch of worthless staff. I disagree with the way how the doctors and the nurses are being treated, especially how they had stuck up for everyone for all these past several years. They should be treated with the same respect whether or not they are willing to be vaccinated.
I don't know where your daughter did her research, but much of what you wrote doesn't match what I found from several Canadian sources.
The worry apparently is over mixing the elderly and children who have not been vaccinated but need to go into the pharmacies with people who have known symptoms, arriving at the stores and going inside. Now that they are able to since November 17.
