Seems many places require a negative test  to get in concerts etc , 

Not sure if this is good enough for that , but its free !

stay safe

DD#1 texted me this link as I was reading your post.

Ordered already.  Thanks!

works great, something one doesn't get to say about US govt software.  Took 30 seconds.

Thanks

THANKS

One set of 4 per residential address.  Done for my house and mother-in-laws house.  Easy.  

My sister text me the same just after I was done.

Same here, heard about it from multiple sources and ordering was super easy.

FYI the nasal tests don't seem to pick up the omicron strain too well. My coworker had full blown symptoms, fever, loss of taste, cough, etc and got two negative results from take home tests.

I'm just glad they didn't have to partner with FedEx for distributing these.

This is very method dependent.  If you're not close to donating brain matter, you're probably not doing it right.  My last test was at the pharmacy, and I audibly said, "berkeley, that was awful" the tech laughed and said that meant I did it correctly.

Thanks for the heads up.

I can walk into any CVS, Walgreens, Target, show them my insurance card and walk out with free tests.

And since I'm currently stuck in France because my wife tested positive during our pre-flight check, I can tell you 4 tests isn't much. We've self tested everyday during our 7 day lockdown and each had three official tests at the airport pharmacy.

We're probably over testing based on USA standards so we can get on a plane and get home. Dual hotel rooms with 100% room service (since we're not supposed to leave our rooms except to test) is getting EXPENSIVE.

Finally, someone shipping these things at a price close to their actual value.  Nice to see.

I hope the government was smart enough to label them as...

"PURCHASE OR SALE OF THIS ITEM PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL LAW - VIOLATORS WILL BE PROSECUTED"

If not, these things are about to become a form of currency.

That was pretty painless for a gov website.  

Now....will they come with the USPS Slowdowns?

The gf had a similar experience. She thinks she didn't go deep enough. 

(go ahead and joke, but If left to self administered tests, I believe this is a significant factor.)

Edit: Thanks OP. Very easy, indeed.

Thanks for the link. Let's keep this at the top in case people need some tests.

Sure, if you can find them in stock. Four delivered direct to you might not be much, but it's better than hunting for none.

Done. Thanks!

Saw it posted on a local gun forum, ordered.

Glad to see it posted here, too, spread the word.
