Free covid at home tests

I live in FloriDUH and just checked this out (thank you for the link, rescue-chick). Not surprisingly, no tests available in MY area, the state that let COVID tests expire.

none are available in my area

I would keep checking because they may be add your area

I will keep checking but Death Santis would rather all of the populace die than do anything. We are overrun with snowbirds and everyone else who came last year and stayed. Sarasota has become a nightmare.

I am sorry! It sucks that this is so political 😕

florida is a mess

Yes it is.

In the UK we can order one free box of lateral flow tests per day to be delivered to our home.

Ah yes-- a civilized country unlike the state of Florida!

also, starting January 15,if you have insurance your insurance is required to pay for up to 8 home covid tests per month. if you are charged by the retailer (either in store or online) save your receipt and submit to your insurer for reimbursement

[quote] your insurance is required to pay for up to 8 home covid tests per month.

…per person, rescue.

So if there are two people in the house, it’s 16. Three, it’s 24 and so on.

[quote] one free box of lateral flow tests per day

I guess that’s fine if you’re a woman. But then you have to run the drug store anyway to change the type of pad you get.

thank you rescue-chick!

thanks for the clarification r11- I totally missed that! happy testing all!

Wish i lived in fla with all the fabulous beaches.

Still none available

Hurry screeching covid pearl clutching Marys!!!!

Thanks OP

another federal site opens next week to send tests, 4 per household, doesn't sound like states have anything to do with it

sorry, this will be the direct link

Thanks rescue-chick You are truly an asset to your fellow Dataloungers.

Especially the lazy ones like me.

So dumb.

A waste of money.

And if you test positive, what will happen?

I don't know r22, I have never had a test and as far as I know, I haven't had covid. but, people are spending money on the tests and I like most of you so, I share.

youstolemygoddamnhouse, you are welcome! I ❤️ you too!

you isolate at home, you retard, troll!

Today is 1/16/22 and I just ordered mine from the OP’s post. It’s working.

*1/18/22

Sorry!

and yet a third option- directly from the post office, opened today

Thank you rescue-chick! I just ordered mine.

Yeah as much as I criticise this country, it's good that we have had easy 'free' access to at home lateral flow tests for many months at this point. It's great that the US is catching up.

I am still working from home but people who go into the office are encouraged to test themselves several times a week to make sure they are not spreading COVID. I also tend to test before meeting up with family or having people stay over, though having recently had COVID I'm probably immune for a while now.

R22 can you explain why you think this is a waste of money? Surely it's much better for people to be testing themselves frequently at home than having tests administered by healthcare professionals who could be doing more useful things? Surely it's much better people test themselves and isolate if needed than roaming around spreading COVID everywhere? Work it out, what is better financially? Funding for tests which reduce the spread of COVID, reduce the risk of infecting vulnerable people who then need medical care, reduce the need for staff to conduct tests that are easy to do at home, just makes financial sense. If you can't work that out, you must be pretty thick.

UKGuy, don't feed the trolls

FAT COVID WHORES REJOICE

Let's PARTY

JUST received mine yesterday. Two weeks late

it took 2 weeks but I have the tests. Relieved to have them.

I ordered mine the first day you could order them and haven't received a thing.

You would think the democrats would do everything they can to fire Louis Dejoy and get to work fixing the Post Office and all the damage caused by dejoy. But you would be wrong. They're not concerned about anything

DeJoy ain't getting fired by either party.

Same here R36 and the way my local post office is run, I don’t expect to receive them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they were sold off already.

R38 here. Eating my words as they delivered today.

I ordered the first day, and they just came this Monday, Feb 14. You will get an email on the day they are to be delivered, I received two emails one saying they would be delivered Monday and one saying they would be delivered Thursday, but they did indeed come on Monday. I am hoping I never need them.

Even though i got the booster on Tuesday, i just tried ordering tests and it said that tests weren't currently available in my area, contact local health department.

I got mine today.

R49, They already said on the news that people do not quarantine if positive or only isolate a couple days, so it is useless. Get the vax and fucking move on.

R49?

I ordered the first day and still haven't gotten mine.

This is fucked up. And they're still insisting on the mandates. fools

[quote] I ordered the first day and still haven't gotten mine.

You know now that you didn’t have covid then, so does it matter?

I got my free at home covid test and picked up some free n95 masks. Yay!!
