It turns out, you really can get everything at Costco.
The wholesale retailer is now selling at-home coronavirus test kits on its website.
The saliva PCR tests are administered by telemedicine platform AZOVA and cost $129.99 for just the test kit or $139.99 for the test kit with a “video observation,” according to the product descriptions.
People who buy the $129.99 test kit are expected to get their results within 24-72 hours after the lab receives their kit. Those who buy the more expensive test can expect their results within 24-48 hours from when the kit gets to the lab...

I believe that in actuality they are really Cold and Flu test kits.
Walmart / Sams Club will have much better prices.
I try not to shop at liberal businesses such as Costco and Target (especially Target)
All the experts say that early and fast intervention is critical. I don’t understand the value of testing that takes up to 72 hours to get the results to you. Those are critical 72 hours when you could be undertaking the EVMS / MATH+ protocol to get ahead of the virus before it explodes inside you.
If you are symptomatic, then immediately begin the EVMS / MATH+ protocol rather than wait 24 - 72 hours for a confirming test result.
Check the GoodRX price, or that Martin Sheen service. The out of pocket could be less.
Sounds like it also measures IQ ... at the checkout counter.
Bingo!
Your typical State-in-bed-with-Business deal. We are not a capitalist country, we are actually a mixed collective ... a compromise between capitalism and socialism ... in a way nationalist socialism ... but socialism none the less ... and as Ayn has said: In any compromise between food and poison ... death wins.
Guffaw!
Exactly. First, although RT-PCR is very sensitive, it's not going to find viral sequences in saliva if it's not there. I've seen the same patient test negative for Covid by PCR multiple times when nasal (nares) and oral sampling were used - but then test positive when sputum was sent. Second, why pay $129.00 for a 'home' kit which is actually just a sampling kit that has to be sent to a lab for RT-PCR?
Is it a lifelong kit, or a one-time thing ? $140 is nothing if you can use the kit over and over.
Do you get a free mask?
I would never support any business endorsed by the Marxist, hate-America, Martin Sheen.
That comment seems fairly rude. However, this is the Chinaflu so it is what it is. Does negatively testing for Covid also indicate a negative test for an IQ? It’s Saturday Night at FR, ya gotta love it. :)
I sell the best ones on the market online. They’re only about $15 a test and you know in 10 minutes. 98% accurate.
Costco’s a ripoff.
I'm suggesting that choosing to purchase the test indicates a low IQ. I am just being flip, not necessarily hurling insults at anyone in particular. I certainly wouldn't buy the thing and I'm QUITE certain it will be abused by business and government just like heredity tests. However with these -> I'm sure we're going to get reports in three months about 'aggregated meta studies/results' from the company about test stats that are complete lies designed to push a lefty agenda.
Okay I spit on my monitor.
Where do I send the $15?
Good one.......
LOL
Isn’t insurance covering the cost?.
Isn’t the state covering it at cvs?
You’d be correct I’m sure, seeing as how they admitted they can’t even isolate this virus.
