    With knowledge empowerment , We feel that ,visiting a doctor even when you have a mild fever or cold is detrimental these days ..The minute you test anyone ,there is a chance that he or she is Covid Positive .. IF you have tolerable fever or cold take some hot water ,do not eat ice cream or oily food for a few days ..your fever will disappear in a few days ..Do not visit that doctor for such minor ailments ..IF they test you will most likely Covid positive.

    Test more, we will probably have 3-4 times that number, considering the number of idiots not wearing masks (even in hospitals, of all places!!!) and hoping that since sort of divine intervention will save them from getting infected or spreading the disease!!! Now get ready to face the music.

    Agree with you....do not give any free orconcessional rates in medical bills. Because this is pure negligence. Still people do not wear masks and some wear on the neck as if they snreze/cough/spit through their neck and chin. Charge triple the amount fine on those masterpieces...Why blame govt and hospitals?
