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

Why would you take a test if you aren’t sick???

[SERKIT]

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

[Jamestown1630]

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

[Oldeconomybuyer]

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

[mass55th]

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

[GOPJ]

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

[Tell It Right]

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

[virgil]

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.

[1Old Pro]

Why would you take a test if you aren't sick???

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

[OpusatFR]

From China no less. Not using.

[butlerweave]

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

[DBrow]

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.

[NEMDF]

We received 4 at our house a couple weeks ago.

One minor issue with them is they can’t be stored below 35F

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

[toddausauras]

More wasteful stupidity wake me when the fake pandemic is over someday

[dforest]

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

[mikelets456]

How come my test showed I was pregnant?

[Maudeen]

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

[ctdonath2]

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.
