    Yes, @jonnyboy I'm sure you can resell them.

    No, @MARIS61 this will not test you to see if you are a member of the deep state.

    I've directly responded to many of your posts in the past and you've not responded. So yes, you willfully ignore facts and reality. If you care to go back and read, do so, but I've already wasted too much of my time trying to have a reasonable conversation with you.

    Too full or not too full, that is the question.

    This feels like a very much Joe Biden thing ... he's trying to do the right thing but the tests probably won't arrive for another 4-6 weeks and by that point the latest variant will have passed by and we will be winding down cold/flu season. This would have been great to have out by Thanksgiving, now it feels way late but I'll still take my four!

    False negatives and false positives are all the rage.

    The govt website I used only allows four but if you have multiple addresses you can probably hoard them

    It'll probably take more than six the way these things have been going. I'll shoot for best-of-seven to determine a winner.

    As I said in a different thread I've been helping people get in-home tests, just delivered one this morning to a lady for her son, just not seeing these tests being inaccurate.

    I’m generally in the “do the right thing” camp (whatever “the right thing” might be this week) and maybe I’m just too stupid to live, but just what is the purpose of these tests??? Omicron is supposedly everywhere, and highly contagious. Most, if not all of us have been exposed (or will be) and some will get sick. What purpose does the test serve?? I work side by side with a lady who recently caught covid from her son and grandchildren. We both wear masks and we are both vaccinated and boosted. I have not gotten sick, yet it would not surprise me if I tested positive. She is back at work and is no longer contagious. And I’m still healthy. I just don’t see what a covid test will do for me other than to prod me to stay home if I test positive. Or I can keep going to work and be exposed time and again by customers who themselves are positive. Six of one, half dozen of another. I’m vaccinated, boosted, wear masks and exercise diligent hygiene. Screw the tests. All they do is prolong the confusion, ignorance and apathy. I guess I’d rather live my life again and trust the vaccine. And fuck anyone and everyone who refuses to get vaccinated. We all get what we deserve in the end……….

    It's easy to play the semantic game. I don't know if any hospital is at full capacity, I haven't seen phatguys links. There have been and if this spike doesn't curve down quickly there is about to be again. 38 states have hospitals at 80% or higher capacity. That is of great concern. We should be alarmed.

    You seem to be of the notion we shouldn't be alarmed right now, that Phatguy and others are crying wolf. 80% and I'm sure it's rising doesn't leave for much exaggeration. Hospitals are overflowing with covid patients. We don't have enough doctors and nurses because they too are getting sick. This is reality.
