We've already paid for those kits. Leaving them sitting in a warehouse does nothing.

Are they fully "at home" test kits? As in it shows you results right then and there?

Or do you need to swab yourself and then send it in to a "lab" for results?

Ordered mine, daughters, dads, what the heck we paid for them. Might as well get them before someone makes up a shitton of fake names and has them shipped so they can sell them on the web overseas for profits.

Another estimated $4 billion dollars.

"The President committed to another 500 million just yesterday for a billion," the official said. "And we’re not saying we’re stopping there. And we’re going to keep — keep moving forward to expand testing so that Americans have it both now and moving into the future."

Great...this will do wonders for all the hypochondriacs and Covid Karens out there testing themselves numerous times a day. Roll Eyes

And look at the UK; all their "free" tests they handed out? You were required BY LAW to report the results of them TO THE GOVERNMENT either way they came out.

Fuck that noise.

Pretty sure these are the version that indicates results in 15 minutes, and works similar to an at home pregnancy test, with 2 lines...

Well, I'm not going to play a part in giving the Dems the satisfaction of claiming a smashing success of their free test rollout and then give them an excuse to do it again in a few months.

I don't even see the point. My goodness, testing at home to see if your have a cold. Ridiculous.

How will they track if we use them or not?

If you need to get a test for work or travel, do they not report the results to the .gov?

I have trouble believing this will be a success for the Democrats.

Will they be able to meet the demand for these free test kits?

I think not.
My guess is this will just be more egg on their face.

Providing free kits based on need was way outside there realm of thinking.
Millions of kits will go to waste, no stoping that.

Not to mention that *anyplace* I've seen that requires a negative test for travel/entry/goods/service is specifically requiring a "third party" test result--stating specifically that home test results will not be accepted.

How can this be? Aren't these kits retail $24? Or maybe even $50? But these are retail prices. If we get four, that should be $200 max including shipping.

How does this get to cost of more than $1000 per person, let alone 5 or 6 figures?

These immediate results home tests are NOT valid for overseas, you need hard copy or digital results and different countries have different requirements. We visited Iceland back in Aug and learned a lot about covid testing.

More on testing for travel:

Americans can get free at-home COVID-19 tests soon — but they won’t work for travel
Caroline Tanner
4d ago

Although Americans will have access to order free at-home rapid COVID-19 tests thanks to the recent purchase of 500 million tests by the Biden administration, they won’t be helpful with travel...

I've already got Qty. 6 COVID Test kits at my house that I've had since mid-December. I guess New Hampshire was out front on this and determined that they ought to get the tests in peoples hands BEFORE the peak 'seasonal flu season' hit so we'd already have them when/if needed. NH rolled out the COVID Home Testing program providing Qty. 8 test kits to each household at the end of November.

Yep... you're right. And there's not a damn thing we can do about it. Debt/deficits have become a way of life for the US Congress. If I had a choice, we would have a balanced budget, every year. But even though I vote for conservatives it hasn't made a hill of beans worth of difference. They just keep on spending money we don't have.

Take the "free" test, don't take the test: Your choice.
Take the "free" "vaccine", don't take the "vaccine": Your choice.

Just end the mandates.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Are these "rapid, home test" kits actually just a swab and then we need to send the swab to a lab for analysis? Or are these test kits like BinaxNow kits that produce the 'pregnancy kit' like results in 30 minutes?
