What a mess. You can order free rapid COVID tests starting on Wednesday, but they won’t ship for 7 to 12 days.
So who knows when you’ll actually get them:
The announcement of the website fulfills a promise President Biden made before Christmas, when he said his administration would purchase 500 million rapid at-home coronavirus tests and distribute them to Americans free of charge. On Thursday, Mr. Biden announced his intent to purchase an additional 500 million tests, bringing the total to 1 billion. The administration has already contracted for 420 million tests.But the lag in shipping means that Americans may not have access to the tests until the end of January at the earliest. In some parts of the country, that may be after the peak of the current surge of coronavirus cases, fueled by the fast-spreading Omicron variant.The Postal Service will handle shipping and delivery through first class mail, the officials said.
Quarantine only lasts 5 days! This is beyond ridiculous.
I’m not the only one who noticed a problem with this.
