Covid-19 may have killed nearly 3M in India, far more than official counts show

Driving to a testing center and sitting in your car could easily use $3 in gas and more of your time. 7-11 is absolutely everywhere here, you don't understand the level of convenience.

I'm in my condo right now, I could go to a 7-11, come back and have my result all within 10 minutes for $3. But yeah car culture in America is great

There is a 7-11 within short walking distance of virtually everybody here in Bangkok. And free delivery too from 7-11 if you order more than 100 baht (around $3)

> If there even is public transportation to speak of

The public transportation here in Bangkok is amazing. It's clean, on time, and affordable

4 min drive? That sounds like perfect walking distance. It's better too, when you suspect you might have covid.

That's not bad, only 22 min difference between walking and driving.
