Some insurance companies automatically send them out to their Medicare Advantage members. I know BCBS is doing that.

I've only read the instructions and not tested with them

So according to those instructions, negative tests should not really be considered to be negative. Simply brilliant.

Yup. Lol right.

I am wondering why anyone would want one? What will it do for you? It is nothing but more money in someone's pocket that your Grandkids will end up paying for. They are just trying to waste more money and put us in the hole further.

My question is? How can our government send out free testing kits?
1# They are not free. Someone is paying for them. That someone is John Q. Taxpayer, You & I.
2# The government has no money except from My taxes, your taxes, & everyone else's taxes.
3# I'm so tired of hearing about all this FREE crap from "The Government"

I can 100% guarantee if you do your home test and it says positive, you go to a hospital the first thing they will do is test you. If it says negative and you go into a hospital, the first thing they will do is test you.

I have two choices to go into the nursing home my mom's in

Test
Or
Be vaccinated.

I'm not vaccinated so we got the free tests.

And, I could still transmit covid even if vaccinated so testing is better imo.

I agree with that, but they believe you that you tested with a home test? Just seems odd, considering they can't believe any of the tests.

I wanted to see if my cows had covid so I got some tests - I figured if 40% of the deer herd is carrying it - my cows likely are

I haven't heard of anyone using 1 yet. Same with those 'free' N95 masks for that matter.
