It's not a rapid antigen test test.
Like it's not an automatic teller machine machine.
Indeed.
You'd think the WA Government would at least know that.

Listen kids,
Covid is back -
you can all expect to get a 2nd dose of it as I have.
Newsflash, Bobby -
it never went away despite our governments and big business making (almost) everyone believe it had. And it won't be going away for summer like the flu normally does.
If anyone tries to tell you Covid is "seasonal" then what they really mean (unintentionally I'm sure) is "all 4 seasons" (as we've just seen with Covid running rampant during the northern hemisphere summer).
Oh, and we can't really be too critical of Bobby for not taking precautions and catching Covid again because, as he says, shopping centres and other places where many people gather are full of selfish, ignorant twats who cough and sneeze everywhere with no concern whatsoever about infecting others.
This is also due in part by our governments' (deliberate) total lack of communication about the ongoing Covid pandemic and replacing Public Health with "Personal Responsibility" a.k.a. "You Do You".
And, regarding Bobby going into shopping centres maskless (even if he knew he should be masking), the
Asch Conformity Experiment would explain it.
Quote:The Solomon Asch conformity effect experiment shows the extraordinary lengths people with go to just to conform with other people’s behaviour.
The Solomon Asch conformity experiments were a series of social psychological experiments carried out by noted psychologist Solomon Asch.
The Asch conformity experiment reveals how strongly a person’s opinions are affected by people around them.
In fact, the Asch conformity experiment shows that many of us will deny our own senses just to conform with others.
"No one else is wearing masks anymore so I won't bother".
I've heard that a few times since mask mandates were dropped. I even heard it from my 93 year old aunt about a year ago.
