Sadly not true. Just go and see the many people (on HermanCainAward on Reddit), who are still coming down with covid, even though they think covid is a hoax or no big deal, ending up in the hospital, on vents, and some dying. Delta variant is probably still out there, along with Omicron. These are unvaxxed folks who believe their immune system is all they need.

Healthy? A lot of people have underlying conditions that increase their risk, and may not even realize it. High blood sugar, high blood pressure, hidden heart disease, etc.

The virus isn't considered 'weak,' it still can knock people on their arses. My dental hygienist told me yesterday she and the other 3 folks on staff (all fully vaxxed) got covid about a month or 2 ago, and their symptoms ranged from "like a mild flu" to "in bed for a few days and feeling sick for a week."

I ordered for both my mom and I on the same day. But, I'm happy to hear my mom finally got her tests. I had feared that they forgot about the whole order. I guess, I'll just have to sit tight. I hope I get the BinaxNow. Patience is a virtue since they're handing these late.


I ordered for my daughter and I the 2nd day and for a friend a week later, none of us have gotten tests in NJ. I wondered if maybe our tests didn't get submitted, I went to the site to order yesterday, it said I already ordered tests. No clue how to check the shipment.

My daughter is on week 4 since symptoms with Omicron, my grandson is week 3. I didn't get it. Neither are vaccinated, I had J&J.

Grandson's peds did a rapid test which was negative. She said they aren't reliable for Omnicron.

I just visited my hair stylist. She got COVID the week after my last appointment. It took her two full weeks of pretty severe illness to even go back to work, and she's still much more tired than usual. She is not vaccinated for the record. Neither is her boyfriend and they both got it and both were out of work for two weeks and were both sick as in with the flu. Fever, chills, malaise, some coughing, plenty of congestion. Neither lost their senses of taste or smell though.

I forgot to ask her about the tests but I doubt she signed up for them. She is very anti government and very anti vax as well.

I’m in New Jersey and I didn’t get mine yet either, however a couple of my coworkers who are also in New Jersey did get theirs. I don’t know what the deal is.

I ordered the day I saw this thread so about a month ago. I got an email this week stating I should expect mine in the mail this coming Tuesday.

Finally. My order (which I placed for both my mom & myself a day before the website went live) has finally shipped! Yay!
I honestly thought they forgot all about our orders when I heard from other posters here that they have already gotten there's weeks ago. But my delivery is expected this Thursday (my mom got hers last Thursday).

So, for all of you still waiting... hang in there. They are a coming!

Mine came today by Fed-Ex. I ordered them the day I saw it on here. It's below freezing out so I was glad I was here to pick them up on the doorstep.
