Here's how to solve the Covid testing site queues: Make the cost prohibitive.
The picture of this site in central Malang (East Java) was taken around noon on 30 December '21.
Staff thought they might get 20 customers by nightfall.
It would take a local tradie three to four days' work to muster the PCR Rp 495,000 fee - about AUD $50.
On this basis the cost in Oz would be close to $1,000. If that was being charged at test stations in the Eastern States the queues would probably dissolve.
Another point: Indonesian Covid stats are clearly flawed. No tests, no stats.
