Free COVID-19 test program to be suspended for now

The federal government’s free at-home COVID-19 test program will be suspended beginning Friday in response to a drop in respiratory diseases.

The Biden administration brought back the free test program last year ahead of the respiratory viral season. By going to COVIDtests.gov, households could order a free pack of four at-home COVID-19 tests. This most recent batch of free tests was the sixth round made available.

A banner on the website now states that “ordering for free COVID-19 tests via this website will be suspended after Friday, March 8, 2024. All orders placed on or before March 8 will be delivered.”

The program may be brought back again in the future as needed.

They must also be shattered that the CDC isn't mandating that they stay home for 10 days and can return to work in a day or so when feeling better.

Good. Maybe now I can stop screaming at the television when CVS and Paxlovid run their ads for free shots and useless pharmaceuticals.

Prolly not. Once a curmudgeon, always a curmudgeon.

I am happy to hear music, again, at the grocery store. I guess the money has dried up.
