4 tests per household just after one year of Joe Biden being president during an ongoing pandemic. And leftists say that liberals are incompetent! Ha!

    In my team’s weekly retrospective meeting someone called out free covid tests as something to be happy for in the last week. Thank god we didn’t get to discussing it, I don’t think I could have prevented myself from describing Americans as snivelling cowards for being grateful for this.

      From what I understand China and Vietnam and maybe other places have been testing huge swaths of their entire countries at weekly since the pandemic started, but now on year 3 the US can get four tests, PER ADDRESS, once.

        Fucking Boris Johnson can see fit that any U.K. citizen can order 7 covid tests a day, it’s utterly utterly pathetic.

        I mean ultimately it’s just a means of plausible deniability for the Biden admin so they can say “we gave you vaccines, tests and masks for free, it’s not our fault if you catch it” after the next couple of waves come through and really wipe away what’s left of folks’ immune systems.

        Over here in northern Europe both quick and pcr tests are free and the nearest test center is usually within a walking distance.
