This is going to sound like a strange question. But these are nasal swab tests, correct?

Yes, but not brain ticklers.

They came in well packaged and in good shape. They are in the orange and white box. They are made in China. They expire in the early part of July. So I guess I better get busy getting sick! LOL
Same here my is from Ihealth Made in China exp 07-07-2022 with the infection rating decline sharply a lot of these test kits will end up in the garbage landfill.

Oh, that is the only reason the government is so excited to give them away for free. Soon they'll be completely worthless anyway.

Disgusting waste of taxpayers' hard earned money. Absolutely appalling.

That's interesting, as my test box is blue and white and made in the Republic of Korea. It's distributed by Roche. Expiration is 7-13.

I also ordered a set for my parents while I was visiting them this weekend - will be interesting to see how long it takes to ship at this stage. Not that any of us will ever need them...

Well they will all end up in the garbage landfill, regardless. Do you think people keep their used tests? Recycle them?

Wait for the postal service to add the mission of picking up medical waste.

I ordered mine the day the website went live on 1/18/2022 and they were delivered on 02/01/2022. They are Abbott BinaxNOW made in the USA and expire 11/21/2022. I'm in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

That's great, I really do think BinaxNow is the best one. I noticed they were back at my Walgreens which is great news. I'll go buy one of those again before using the iHealth made in China test they sent.
