Here in New Zealand celebrities and sports people get to the front of the line when it comes government quarantine facility placement.

Not sure if this is money, or just a popularity contest, but it frustrates me more if it is popularity rather than just paying a lot.

We had the same thing here where basketball teams and politicians were getting covid tests every week while the rest of us couldn't get one when we had symptoms. I don't think that's a private vs. public healthcare issue necessarily.
