Something I'm wondering, are the results of the home tests included in the daily reported numbers? If not, then reporting that the number of those testing positive is going down can't be accurate. Does anyone know?

@occasionalrain The COVID numbers were already projected to be going down by now. Originally based on data from South Africa but also the great Dr Fauci said by Mid February we would be seeing decreasing numbers. Home tests have been around for some time so they can not be to blame for any decrease in numbers.

I received mine last week but I question whether they are even good as people were told to not leave them out in the cold or have someone pick them up right for you. Expires in July?

I thought I would be nice and called a friend who does not have internet and asked her if she would like me to order for her. She balked as had to ask hubby. Then called back and said ok. I ordered the same day as mine but in evening. Then mine came last and hers didn't yet. I felt bad and she said she has seen them for $10 in stores.

They received the kits yesterday as called me and then she asked why didnt I order a set for her as I put only her husband's name the order! He is works at Walmart part time. I thought one name would be easier. I had to explain it to her that it is one kit per address or household not one kit per person!

I saw the FREE government masks still available at Walmart yesterday. They are heavy and uncomfortable looking. Industrial type. Been sitting there for weeks. Not too many takers, I guess.

I have not but am not surprised. I expected the COVID test deliveries would really bog down the Postal Service.

I assume different parts of the country got different tests. Ours arrived today. A white box containing 5 tests made by "Clinitest" from Siemens in Houston. Expires in Nov 2022.
