PSA - Free At Home Covid Testing Kits
Updated 7:54 AM EST, November 20, 2023
WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans can order more free COVID-19 tests online for home delivery.
The U.S. government is offering to send another round of four at-home virus tests ahead of the typical surge in cases during the winter holiday season.
Anyone who did not order a batch of four COVID-19 tests in September can secure up to eight of them this time around starting Monday at COVIDtests.gov. The U.S. Postal Service will deliver them for free.

I just used some of mine last month, when I had covid for the first time and was going to go visit some people and stay in their home.
Had to hold off on that trip.

It was sarcasm. Going for the “if you don’t test the numbers don’t go up” angle.

We’re all vaccinated up at our house but your cautionary tale will have me breaking out the masks for shopping trips for the next 3 weeks before and then when we fly to New England for granddaughter’s birthday and holidays.

It really sucks, and this second round has me reaching for a kn95 when I go shopping or to a concert.
Hope you get over it quickly DWags, are you taking Praxil?

We were at Blake’s yesterday holding hands and I kissed the OL bat a couple times. Then we had dinner in an igloo. My test tonight was negative. Both of hers were positive.
Sorry to hear that, DWags. On the bright side, keep calling her the ol bat and you won’t ever have to worry about catching it.

Had it one time at its peak Jan 22 despite the vax...not fun. Couple vaxxed people at work got it over the last few months, but mild. Vaxxed purchasing manager has had it 4 times so far.

She should get a formal test. Home tests are good but can give false positives.
Re: PSA - Free At Home Covid Testing Kits
Did all three vaccines the end of September, as noted then went on to come down with covid in mid-October, but was being stupid, too many public places, concerts, plane rides, with no mask.

Wear a KN95 type mask if you are going to be in a crowd is what I will be doing. Sure the "vid" rate is way down but it sucks if you get it, and KN95 masks are pretty effective.
Re: PSA - Free At Home Covid Testing Kits
Holiday surge beginning, not nearly as bad as the last two years.
Vaccinate, mask up & stay safe out there, Swillers.
