Really, how do you know this?

Good friend of mine’s Thai mother in law was admitted to hospital with what the doctor diagnosed was pneumonia 3 weeks ago and he has repeatedly asked for a covid test for her as pneumonia often results from covid and has been repeatedly refused due to the hospital claiming she does not have the proper symptoms according to the official guidelines for the test. Read into that whatever makes you happy.

That's been the same story in a lot of places unfortunately.  Yet there are those deniers that say it is not happening and they are testing.
