You can buy a test, or get a free vaccination and have very little to
worry about. Millions have chosen the free vaccine.

You still need a test if you want many/most medical procedures. I had
a cardiac catheterization in December and they insisted on one, and I
have the famous 10-year test coming up on the 16th and they insist on
one for that too. No rapid test permitted.

PCR tests are free in the UK.

They are in the USA also unless you go to some place where they are not.
There are a lot of places where they are free however, including
government locations and CVS, a large chain of drugstores in 36 states,
and Walgreens, another large chain (though not every one gives the
tests. But there are 2 suburban places within 5 miles. I think in the
city they are even closer togethr.

You don't even have to get out of your car (but you don't need a car.)

CVS and probabbly the other non-goverment sites are biling the Feds but
you won't need insurance, medicare, or medicaid.
