There was an incoming case that started to disseminate from my hometown's airport and the adjacent subway line. I lived nearby the airport, so I was inside the "high-risk grid" of this incident. I received countless calls from the community center forcing me to do the covid testing, and I was also asked to do the test at a specific center far away from my home. The photo I'm sharing is taken at 10 pm traveling to the testing point after work. I had to line up for 3 hours in a burning summer night. It is definitely memorable.
