    1. Kubanakan Taino mmmm…. I guess both would work. Which would hurt most? It shouldn’t be fast and clean. Gouging them out with a blunt, rusty fishing knife maybe.

  1. Well you do have to admit …no Real medical professional would ever have a Hype Man. 🤣

    1. That was funny but at the same time I wouldn’t be up in nobody face like he was he was too close to that truck you never know what people will do now days

    1. That’s all the government is doing with their testing anyway what difference does it make these people are going to rip you off on a small scale government’s going to rip you off on a large scale for the long run

    2. The good news, is they have probably been infected with Coroner Virus. The bad news, is they’ll infect a dozen more people, before consuming valuable medical resources needed by people who didn’t deserve this.

    3. @Spring Bloom in my area, the good news is they’d get shot,hung,burned, and like they say out in the woods, leave no trace. I wonder if the cops would show up if you opened fire on them.with a high power rifle.🤔

    1. LOL! They are not getting off. Look how many people surrounded them. They got their license plate number, photos. Game over.

    2. @pineapplesareyummy but how many people did they scam,how many people did they infect? people don’t seem to realize we have a major problem with the test strips coming to the US being contaminated with the coronavirus

    3. hypothetical for you,tests are found to be contaminated with covid19 so they’re thrown away…these assholes get them out of a dumpster and tell you it’s safe to put in your mouth and charge you $240 to infect you

  2. Congrats to the people chasing them away. But why aren’t they calling the cops on these people?

    1. Because they didn’t have a valid reason in running them off in the first damn place😒😒😒💯💯💯💯hmmm🤔

    1. @Nunsuch one last thing before I forget about you, I understood your comment clearly. You don’t care about people. Some of these scammers do their homework this guy might have spelled HIPAA wrong but some of them look so real that even intelligent peole get scammed. I’m not mad I’m just disappointed you would think that way.

    2. Those who have kept inflating the numbers in the media are making even easier money than the few idiots that would get caught on fake corona virus tests.

  3. I feared this type of criminal activity would surface.
    Like the t.v. series American Greed. People will do anything for money.

    1. @Hi Lo you are so right. The government with the media are like a religion for most ppl now. They can do what they want, and what they want is to do what few ppl want them to do….

    1. @ItCould BeWorse sure but I’m not a peice of shiт to put people’s lives at risk. Professionals have standards.

    1. @Clinton Nebraska l͢u͢c͢i͢f͢e͢r y͢o͢u͢ a͢re͢ n͢o͢t͢ t͢a͢k͢i͢n͢g͢ t͢h͢a͢t͢ s͢h͢i͢t͢ f͢ro͢m͢ t͢h͢i͢s͢ j͢e͢rk͢…….

    2. Anyone who drove up and gave these rats money should lose their drivers license for life. They’re too stupid to be allowed to drive.

      Also, they deserved to lose their money.

    3. God is our savior. 🙌🏽 but we’ve disappointed him for far too long, he will have no mercy.

  4. I’m confused how this is even happening with law enforcement around, how is law enforcement not checking on this?

    1. @L SAINT-LOU I have no idea how old you are and I’m not trying to be rude at all 🙂 But he was definitely not speaking proper English. It was nothing but slang-y contractions like “how’s” and “your mama” and “doin.” What we are referring to is his accent and tone. He has a shrill-ness to his voice that is typical of white men, and the specific country twang just adds to it. It’s a lovely accent, very likeable. But just wanted to point out that he was most definitely NOT speaking proper English.

    2. @L SAINT-LOU Oh I wasn’t trying to be rude, but it seems like I’ve offended you. Not my intention! I was just sharing my reasoning. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been stereotyped. That’s not right and I can see that it bothers you a lot. Stay healthy and take care!

    1. Shes absolutely right. They are likely collecting specimens and selling them to private companies.

  5. Were the police called? These people absolutely must be caught and prosecuted. This is not in any form ok.

    1. @Tiago Wolf You heard it, they were to charge $240 per fake test. Say 100 people would test, that’d make them $24,000 just like that, doing nothing. Easy money, isn’t it? lol, they got caught.

    2. The worst in humanity on display here. U can’t make this stuff up, but they tried to. I hope they get dealt with. 👎

    1. claudia Shacklette we need more people like her, so many people are scared to call out people, strong woman!

  6. My suspicion would have been raised by the fact that “they are testing for apparently the most infectious disease known to man ”
    and they arrived in a pick up truck !
