WASHINGTON (AP) — The federal website where Americans can request free COVID-19 tests will begin accepting orders on Wednesday as the White House looks to address nationwide shortages, but supplies will be limited to just four free tests per home.
Starting on Jan. 19, the website COVIDTests.gov will provide tests at no cost, including no shipping fee, the White House announced Friday.
The White House said “tests will typically ship within 7-12 days of ordering” through the U.S. Postal Service, which reports shipping times of 1-3 days for its first-class package service in the continental United States.
Officials said they are cognizant that any launch of a website carries some risks — and memories of the disastrous roll-out during the Obama administration of Healthcare.gov are still fresh — but said they believe they are well-positioned to handle expected demand for tests.

Are these the things they stick up your nose to “accidentally” perforate the cribriform plate?

It’s the craziest thing that the FauciVirus™ is super-easy to transmit, yet you need to dig into near-brain tissue to detect it.

Why?
Are they going to send out booster jabs to every household? I’ll be happy to fill out the forms for those and give myself my jabs.

...which of course is all being tracked in yet another new snooping, tracking database, which probably requires a new bureaucratic arm on the leviathan. And more taxpayer dollars.
