Why do I get the feeling that...

All these new at-home COVID tests the US GOVT is ordering to give away...how many millions upon millions? I bet a huge chunk of them go to waste in a warehouse somewhere...either because the demand just isn't as great as they think...or Omnicron will wind down to the point where people won't need them...and this will be yet another case of government waste due to being way late to the party.

Way to go Joe.

You can be sure that even an idea with some merit is going to turn into a fiasco of waste and corruption with Biden in charge. I "get" all the ant Trump sentiment out there, but this guy is a walking zombie.

I love how you make a prediction, and then you throw shade on Joe as if the prediction has already come true

I guess that's how it works when you live entirely in your own reality

Think I'll go order some tests now

Best home test is a good thermometer. Check for fever every 12 hours. A rise will be your first indication. Other symptoms will eventually follow, but fever is the first warning sign. Recheck in an hour, see if it was a bad reading. My doctor gave me this tip a few weeks ago when having a routine checkup.
Don't trust anything this dishonest/evil government gives you having to do with medicine....period!!

Remember all through 2020 when Joe kept telling us all he HAD A PLAN and was going to SHUT DOWN THE VIRUS?

And yet, it took him until NOW to provide these tests? Delta variant wasn't a good enough wakeup call?

Some plan. Sounds TRUMPIAN to me...

You Biden voters are even dumber than Biden himself...and that's DUMB.

COME ON MAN, his plan was to follow through with everything TRUMP set in motion. It did not work, it is Trumps fault. Biden made a new plan that involves tests.


It is too bad that this plan is coming now. I have heard many say that we should have been heavy testing 2 years ago, and it would have had a HUGE impact.

Now with Omicron, the china virus has a new offensive playbook. The old defense just won't work, and a new plan needs devised. The good thing is in 6 months, over 95%+ will have caught it and nothing more need done. Many will still want to take the yearly covid/flu shot.

This is an even smarter way to get more vaccinated.

Throw out millions of FREE tests.

Huge upswing in Positive results.

Time to get serious, lockdowns and mandates for ALL.

Federal Health Cards need to be presented for any public business outside of your abode.

I'm glad I made old

PS. all before mid-terms

I would not be surprised if 50% of the kits are programmed to test positive.

Seems to me another way of getting your name into some sort of database.

The Postal Service is taking kit information. What could possibly go wrong?
