What is the cost of a test nowadays? and who pays?

Mine was R850 at Pathcare. I paid.

Medical aid pays in line with PMB guidelines.

Incorrect
7.2.9 funded from risk pool irrespective of result.

Don't accept the funders line that they are only responsible to pay for positive results.

his lips are merely vibrating a bit on top of each other from sneezing

that mask comparison one looks like even some jaw action is involved and the lips are parting with a clear 1cm or more from each other multiple times ... weirdest damn sneeze I've ever seen, and I suffer from hectic hay fever, I sneeze plenty

EDIT: and the guy in the clip you posted sure as hell is not holding his head perfectly still, that is very unnatural for a sneezing human imo
