Edifying confessions that these testimonies of counterfeiters on the small foot.
"Homemade" rigged PCR tests by young computer engineers and even senior executives, geek version.
Or bought 50 or 60 euros on social networks.
The reasons for this use of bogus tests are sometimes puzzling: lack of time, lack of organization, or worse, fear of the swab in the nostrils!
We pinch each other.
So to justify this perilous practice, some counterfeiters claim to offer the combination only to those who have already had the Covid and who are, therefore, already or almost immune. Hopefully this good conscience argument is true. But what is most incomprehensible in this case is that, in France, the tests are free. A quasi-exception which we can only rejoice. In Germany, it takes 80 euros, 60 euros in Italy and up to 300 euros in Sweden.
But it is legitimate today to wonder how much longer will Health Insurance cover between 1.5 and 2 million PCR tests per week, at 72 euros per unit? If the circulation of the virus continues to plummet as in recent weeks, their number will decline on its own - at this rate, we could pass the mark of 5,000 infections per day by mid-June.
But in the event of a 4th wave, in the summer or in the fall, the bill could continue to weigh. So as long as the health "whatever the cost" continues, let's take advantage of one of the most effective tools against the epidemic without taking the plunge. And let's bet on the ingenuity of the experts, who put the finishing touches to the French health pass (in force on June 9) and its European twin (on July 1). They assure us, sworn promise, that the QR code for the test results or the vaccination certificate will be tamper-proof. We hope so, otherwise beware of false vaccination certificates this summer!
