All stocks relates to pathology will be suffer . I mean will down from tommarow
This free test thing will never work in a country like India 
They should make it affordable (like 1000/1500) such that only the ones with suspected symptoms will come forward to get tested
This is not right.
If they want people to pay, they should not enforce lockdown.
You can’t stop earnings of citizens by lockdown first and then ask them to also pay for testing.
Supreme Court na keha hai to free karna padega… 
.
Hospital/hotel/dharamshala stay bhi FREE karo.. 
Court should also make it mandatory for central/state governments to provide protective equipment to all medical related personnel – from cleaning staff to doctors. It’s demoralising that those in front line themselves are without protection in many places.
Corona test will be posted on DD with loot tags.
It’s just a matter of time 
And people will have looted it by visiting multiple testing centers just for the heck of it..Inbefore, “Looted from 100 accounts” posts
Coronavirus tests are free at govt labs. SC wants private labs to test for free ie. govt will have to pay the price, since they are the ones paying they will decide who gets tested and who doesn’t, which basically means that these private labs will work for govt like govt labs. This is great news for these labs, it is like winning a govt tender without even putting in a bid.
Charging 4500 in private labs
