The Biden Administration to Begin Distributing At-Home, Rapid COVID-⁠19 Tests to Americans for Free
The White House ^ | 1/14/2022 | The Briefing Room at The White House

Posted on 02/16/2022 1:14:30 PM PST by 1Old Pro

To help ensure Americans have tests on hand if a need arises, the Biden Administration is purchasing one billion at-home, rapid COVID-19 tests to give to Americans for free. A half-billion tests will be available for order on January 19th and will be mailed directly to American households.

There will be free tests available for every household, and to promote broad access, the initial program will allow four free tests to be requested per residential address. Starting January 19th, Americans will be able to order their tests online at COVIDTests.gov, and tests will typically ship within 7-12 days of ordering.

I ordered the Chinese at-home tests, but all I got was a Chinese-made crack pipe that smelled like hot parmesan.

The ones we got are made in the US, and the parent country appears to be South Korean.

They’re “free” except the 10% for The Big Guy.

You’ll get them at the same time you get your 2021 tax return, which is never.

All state except Maine have falling cases - so I guess Biden’s screws this up too.

Turn it in with a note thanking them for anal swabs.

We finally got them a couple days ago. I think it’s by an American company, but manufactured in China.

What is the point of handing out tests anyway? If you aren’t sick it doesn’t matter

Yep, Omicron lasts only 2-3 days.

I don't think they will be used unless symptoms appear.

Are they tests or a new way to vaccinate everyone again and again with what ever they want

One minor issue with them is they can’t be stored below 35F, and if they freeze (the reagent vial inside) they will give a false negative.

So naturally our geenyus planners send them by mail, when they sit in a truck for half a day then a mailbox or front porch. Not a problem in the South but not everyone lives in warmer weather.

So I guess in NYS they are waiting to ship until Spring.

Also, they are not free. We paid for these useless things.

It just may be a blessing you haven’t received them.

I did get mine - at least two weeks after ordering.
Taking that long, one has to order early - not when first symptoms are noticed, as one would be recovered or dead by the time it showed up. Result is millions of test kits just sitting around, relentlessly approaching their expiration date (and yes there is one). That’s a waste of million$, while (by messing with the supply chain) denying tests to people in-stores when they actually need ‘em.
