They don’t ship until the week after US thanksgiving, but better late than not at all.

The govt should be offering free masks & free vaccinations too.

ironcurtainyc.bsky.social•480 days ago

I agree. I'm on medicaid, so for me, it comes standard.

penguin42.bsky.social•480 days ago

Done!

kimbooyork.bsky.social•483 days ago

Gonna do this and hope this time they don't send me tests that are only two weeks away from expiring. 😒

Mine were already "expired" in the last batch, although the FDA has a list of extended expiration dates, according to which, they were still OK.

Oh, good to know. Thanks!

Thank you! I'm all about keeping the demand up so hopefully this program just keeps going. The dichotomy of "COVID is over but here, have more tests" just kills me. Hey Governments, clean the indoor air already!

No official has ever said the pandemic is over. The government just announced that the emergency state was over as hospital bed numbers improved, but the disease still causes long term immune system, respiratory, heart, and brain damage that gets worse with each re-infection.

I agree; it’s still a huge danger. But Biden declared it over. PHEs ended and now COVID vaccines aren’t free. The CDC saying you’re ok to be at work after five days is the work of corporations who want butts in seats. It’s a mess.

Biden did not declare the pandemic over. He declared an end to the national emergency, but specifically said that the pandemic is ongoing and dangerous. It effectively ended certain healthcare guidelines and Title 42 immigration restrictions. The headline-only masses just took it as"it's over!"

Sounds like we'll have to agree to disagree. His actions speak louder than words. Taking his mask off when his wife had COVID and telling reporters to not tell anyone was insulting to those of us who could die quickly if we get COVID.

Also: • If an order has not been placed for your address since the program reopened on September 25, 2023, you can place 2 orders now

I wish we could get tests in accordance with the size of our family.

sydmj.bsky.social•483 days ago

I'm almost out, so this is good news
