Well, he didn't say USA...Canada is in America! :)

Typical scumbag behavior, doesn't really seem to respect borders.

If you ever want to piss off a Canadian, saying that will do it.

I assume you mean the free ones because the home kits have been available for months..

My GF works for Abbott.. She has a few cases of them in her garage but she goes through them quick. Every time she goes into a hospital/doctors office she has to take one, etc.. Company policy.

Pretty much unobtainium here.

Just bought four of them at Walgreens. The line was long and everyone had tests in their carts. My youngest son is symptomatic but we all tested negative. Hopefully it’s accurate. Better to be safe than sorry I guess.

Maybe I missed it but is there a treatment for one who tests positive? Or just a typical self quarantine? If there is no treatment why test, just to know one has covid?

So as to not go into public?

I did a little research this morning. Walmart is out of stock for BinaxNOW at $14. I ordered a On/Go COVID-19 Antigen Self-Test instead from them for $29.99 because they deliver it fast, just to have one.

The best accuracy home kit looks like Lucira using PCR, so I got one of these to verify a positive result on a regular antigen test. I'll apply for the free tests when they become available.

I believe Pfizer and Merck have treatments that have been approved.
