  • I would guess not having them is due to you being in a denser population, slowing down the distribution.
    Got mine in 7 days, they originally said 10, don't know where they are, but I have them.
    I got mine in about 4 days.  I tested positive (amazon tests) and ordered everything I could three weeks ago ... waited 5 days for Amazon, got the US ones and state of Washington ones.  I'm now sitting on about 12 test kits.   I guess that makes me a hoarder, but justified for my immuno compromised SIL and 90 year old grandmother.   Distribution is certainly better in denser populations.

  • and it took two weeks for me to test negative.   Thus using three test kits.

  • Follow up.  Went to ER on Thursday afternoon and was lucky to get into a room right away.  Just got home today.  Somehow became one of 10k lucky people in the USA each year to get Legionaires Disease.  It is a bacterial pneumonia.  Antibiotics and some breathing therapy for 10 days and should be back to normal then.

  • Ironic that these tests were purchased from China.

  • That sucks.  I'm guessing that reliability will be poor like a lot that comes from there.

    Sorry Lew, hope you are on the mend!

  • Once they finally gave me some breathing therapy I have been feeling better throughout the day.  Thank you!

  • Glad you are on the mend!  China does not care about the quality, just the commerce.

    Thank you.  I am guessing I was probably 24 hours away from being in some big trouble.  Glad I went to the Emergency Room.

  • Glad you are doing OK.

    Thank you.

    I did get the PCR covid test about 3 hours before I went to the hospital.  Got those results in the middle of the night that they were negative.  The ER room doctors already figured that out via a chest x-ray.

    My home test kits did show up yesterday.  I will be in trouble if I need to be using them in the next few weeks.
