"Antigenic swabs finished, only molecular" screams to be heard in the queue of one of the sanitary workers at work in the drive through swabs point of the San Carlo and San Paolo hospitals in Milan, stormed since before the opening, often unsuccessful precisely because, at a certain time, the announcement came that the rapid tests had ended. "I was in the queue from 7 at the Trenno buffer point and at 9 they said that the fast ones were finished, then I shot myself another queue here from 10 in the morning to 17 and even now they are finished ... one thing to do to get a swab? - blurts out a lady in the car in front of the San Paolo - I'm definitely not going back tomorrow, I'll try to do it for a fee, the problem is that you can't find anything,otherwise I would not have wasted all this time for nothing. "Another Milanese man who had to take a quick test - prescribed by his doctor - says he had queued for 18 hours in vain - and in two days he was unable to do so because no one had told him that his was an antigen test and not a molecular one, so when his turn came he found that the quick swabs were gone.
