NYC has seen vending machines for engagement rings and Brooks Brothers shirts, as well as PPE like gloves and sanitizing wipes, but this new Manhattan machine is really testing the limits.

Since January, a storefront at 225 W. 34th St. — formerly home to a Lane Bryant — has hosted two of health company Wellness 4 Humanity’s new vending machines, which sell DIY at-home COVID tests instead of snacks or sodas.

For $149 — credit or debit cards only, no cash — you can pick up a PCR saliva test, use it at your leisure, mail it to one of the company’s partner labs via FedEx with a pre-printed label and get your results via text or email in 48 hours.

When home test has home results, they’ll sell a lot more.

Nothing like scr***** the public.

If your have symptoms, in most cases, you can get a free test. No need for at home....especially at this price.

I'm applying for a Patent for Mail-in Ballot Vending Machines. Then, I'll sell the patent to the 'Rats and Dominion, and make Trillion$.
