Starting today, you can again order free COVID tests

No charge, mailed to your home

By Will Collette

UPDATE: I just placed my order and was amazed at how fast and easy it was.

COVID is making a comeback as case numbers again rise, as well as hospitalizations and death.

Among the obvious actions reasonable (i.e. not anti-vaxxers) people can take are:

Get the new COVID vaccine as soon as you can. Don’t forget to also get your flu shot and the new RSV vaccine. The potential side effects are nothing compared to the misery and danger to your life from the full-blown diseases;

Mask up again, especially in crowded places and

Get your at-home COVID test kits by ordering them directly from the government’s  COVIDTests.gov portal beginning on Monday, Sept. 25

Before you throw out your old test kits, Check to see if your COVID-19 tests' expiration dates have been extended.

If you get a positive result on your COVID kit, you can report the results HERE but, of course, contact your primary care provider to determine what treatment you should consider.

Over one million Americans have died from COVID, most of them unnecessarily because they took their advice from internet quacks or craven politicians. 

It’s your life on the line so be safe and sensible.
