The test is only as good as the sample.

You know there’s no reporting mechanism, right?
Unless they’ve changed that?

From the web site:
Every home in the U.S. can soon order 4 free at-home COVID-19 tests. The tests will be completely free—there are no shipping costs and you don’t need to enter a credit card number.
I'm not sure they understand the idea of completely free.
Someone will pay.

Interesting, maybe it's just to help folks know if/when they should get a real test or at the minimum limit exposure to others.

True, would be nice if they referenced it being taxpayer funded, just to remind folks.

I wanted to crack a joke about nanotechnology and microchips but I really don’t want to feed into conspiracy theories.

Well the website now has a link to order your free 4 tests. But it takes you to a USPS site to fill out (which I did). As expected, you cannot submit again for the same address.

I had no intention of ordering any, but Karla did yesterday. She’s planning on sending them down to Lucas since he is supposed to test anytime he has a close contact on campus. With 3000 kids, that’s going to be every day…

The university should be providing tests. My daughter's does.
