I think that was more to do with numbers than anything else. Covid is more infectious than flu (but less so than measles) and the indications are strong that you're at a lot greater risk indoors than outdoors. I doubt that testing or vaccination will take place at local medical centres. All the testing centres I know of, whether short-term or longer-term have the testing conducted outdoors. Right now, because of a recent surge in cases in my town the medical centre is only permitting people to turn up if they get an appointment because it is "absolutely necessary" (their words, not mine) they see a doctor. I've been paying a lot of attention to this stuff (because of underlying health conditions which mean I'm very unlikely to survive it) and I seriously doubt we'll see testing or vaccination conducted indoors until all medical staff have been vaccinated and enough of the general population have been vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. -- Paul
