Woman In China Queues For Covid-19 Test, Realises It’s For Roast Chicken 2 Hours Later

Woman Allegedly Queues 2 Hours For Roast Chicken, Thinking It Was For Covid-19 Test

Here in Singapore, the queue at a food stall is often a good indication of the quality of items being sold.

However, it’s perhaps also important to find out what exactly the good or service on sale is before queueing blindly.

Recently, a woman in China joined a long queue thinking it was for a Covid-19 swab test.

Speaking to Lychee News, the woman said she headed out early last Friday (11 Mar) to get herself tested for Covid-19.

She was based in Hangzhou, China, an area that reportedly saw a surge in Covid-19 cases of late.

Recounting the incident, the unnamed woman said she spotted a long queue near a hospital and decided to join it, assuming it was for a Covid-19 test.

After standing in line for 2 hours, she finally got close to the end of the queue.

However, she found out then that folks in the queue were actually in line for roast chicken and not Covid-19 tests.

Since she had already spent 2 hours queueing, the woman apparently bought 2 whole chickens home anyway.

Even though the incident happened in China, the lesson to be learned is universal — be sure you know what you’re queuing for before joining the line.

We hope the chicken was worth the 2-hour wait and perhaps most importantly, that the woman was able to get herself tested.
