The STRESS you have when you have to take a rapid test

I didn't dare to get excited about our vacation to Italy yet. Let's just wait and see, I thought. This week it seemed like it was going to happen, so I started to prepare our trip with our autistic Flo. She then says for a long time ‘no, I don't want to’ and ‘Italy is closed’ until suddenly the switch flips and she can't wait. And exactly at that moment... Exactly then a negative test result was required for visitors to Italy.

Since then, I've been spamming one rapid test street after another with wet armpits. It's all super nice and smooth. Let's list all the advantages:

1. No one is reachable, super busy. I understand, but it's annoying.

2. You can't book per family. So I had just found a time slot with a lot of effort, but after registering two family members, the slot was full.

3. There are also time slots indicated that turn out to be unavailable once you've filled out the entire factsheet.

4.  You have to pay immediately, but if you cancel, do you get your money back?

5. Only in the confirmation email from the rapid test street did it state that they usually indeed provide results the next day, but if you were tested on Saturday after 11:30 AM (which we were because earlier wasn't possible) you only get the result by Monday midnight.

6. And we fly Monday morning.

7. Is there perhaps a doctor (with a corona test) in the room?
