Use Emission Testing Sites As Vaccination Site

  • Sunday, January 16, 2022

Here's a no-brainer!  Now that the emissions testing sites are closed... thank goodness... open these empty eyesore shells for something really useful like testing sites and vaccination bays.  Genius.

This would eliminate long lines everywhere. They are (somewhat) conveniently located and have several bays.  At least these over-worked health care workers would be out of the elements, and folks can stay in their cars. It's a win-win.

This should have been done when the pandemic started.

And while you are there, get your jab.
