Texas, resident Sam Lee three tries to get a COVID-19 test last month.The first time, he showed up an hour before the public testing site was set to close and was told they had reached capacity.
He was turned away from a second centre when rain shut it down, and voluntarily left a third after someone ahead of him said they had been waiting in line for more than three hours.“If you have symptoms and you are just driving around the city trying to figure out how you can get a test, for people who are positive, it is not ideal,” said Lee, who finally got a test a couple of weeks later after he showed up before dawn and waited for more than two hours.
