No thanks.

I would strongly advise NOT to stick those testing swabs up your nose!
Agree 100%

Don't worry, when COVID cases drop from 4000 per 100K when you ordered the tests to 0.04 per 100K, you will get your kit so you can let it sit and expire in your drawer because nobody is sick anymore

It only cost us 24 kajillion dollars. And by "us" I mean our grandkids

Can't complain. Hope we don't have to use them. I think it was a good idea by the government, but more positive cases might not be reported now as many who test positive won't bother reporting it to the CDC.

That makes sense. Biden wants case numbers to fall so it looks like he beat covid for the upcoming elections, so he moves test results to the privacy of everyone's home away from the prying eyes (and database) of the CDC.

Just received my test kits in the mail. Oddly enough they say "made in America" by Abbott.

I'm guessing these will be right in time for the 0% infection rate period in July

Mine arrived 3 1/2 weeks after ordering it (ordered the day before official release).

All I received was the test kit. I thought they were including masks also. I don't wear them but wondered why they weren't in there.
