Me: Gee, I feel fine. I must have covid. I'll go pay for a test kit.

Walmart, Amazon, and Kroger: Ka-Ching!!!

Article says Medicaid, not Medicare, You know, the free program for slackers not the one that was earned through a life time of work and contributions.

Has anyone reported the actual price?
Saying that something costs 35% and not mentioning anything else is meaningless.

I’ll spend my money more wisely by purchasing an in-home pregnancy test. 😈

Reduced prices because they don’t work.

Chiden is making them sell them at cost and they aren’t really an at home test. One must send them in with all the person’s info.

It’s not like a home pregnancy test.

I will only spend money on food ammunition or firearms, thank you.

From the Walgreens website for one of these test kits:

"This test has received FDA Emergency Use Authorization for self-testing without the need to ship samples to a lab or for a prescription from your healthcare provider."

No statement on accuracy is provided.

"This test does not provide a documented test result that can be displayed when traveling."

Sorry, no papers to show the Kovid Kops.

"The BinaxNOW COVID-19 Self-Test is an antigen test that only detects an active infection. This test cannot detect past infections."

For me, that would be the only reason to get one of these tests.

"BinaxNOW can be a key tool in preventing the spread of COVID-19 alongside vaccination."

Get the jab or die!

Medicare or Medicaid makes it free? Big difference.

These kits are so notoriously wrong they kit usually had two tests for ONE person to take.

The PCR test don’t work so I’m guessing these home test are far better.

Guess I’ll check the local wildlife and see how many test positive.

So what? You get a positive result and they tell you to go home until you have trouble breathing, and then go to the emergency room. If they were serious, they would start early treatment immediately. It’s a tool of the elites to control you, nothing more.

If somebody wants me tested...they can pay for it.

Personally, I’m very happy never having been tested for the COVID.

Just paid $23 at CVS. Results negative. Full test day later - negative. Had head/chest cold, no fever, for 10 days......

Had Covid-19 in January, was sure tests would be negative.
