The information in that article and the previous one written earlier are both full of bad journalism.

I don't know of anyone that couldn't get registered for the testing as long as they got on line at 8am. 20-30 of our friends got signed up with no problem. You had to try early in the morning and you could not take too long filling out the form. The system gave you an estimated time when you first get into the system but if you took too long the time slots were released to other people. Sure, the web site could have been designed better but UF did a great job with this. They did not have to do this and many of the medical staff donated their time.

If the author had done even a little diligence he could have written a very informative article and actually helped Villagers better access the testing.

Alas, that is not the objective for that tabloid.
