    My partner and I just recently had Covid like two weeks ago, and she got it a few days ahead of me. I kept testing multiple times every day, meanwhile I started to get a high fever, aches, a painful cough. It was only two days into my symptoms did I finally get one of these tests to show positive. If that’s the case for most people then what the hell good are they

    I'm getting a "You've already received all the tests we're gonna give you" notification.

    If you've jumped on every round of free gubmint tests (I have), you may not be able to claim any more, which is absolute horse shit :)

    I might be experiencing conspiracy brainrot, but this just keeps the testing and positive rates low, right?

      Yeap.

      Plus it's a perfect fit to the "personal risk" bullshit that Biden, the dems, and the CDC have pushed hard. It's been a wild success. They crushed the percentage of people in favor of masks and Americans no longer have any understanding at all about what public health means. Even worse than that - deluded Americans still think they do.

        Florida being nearly entirely "red" (coral?) shows how far personal responsibility can go.

      It's also almost impossible to get a pcr test now. So if you are concerned you have covid, rapid tests are your only option.

    I think this is still the old one? I was denied the order for "being at the limit"

    I got some, and I think I've ordered them in the first and second round too.
