I seen an article this afternoon that some people started ordering today, one day early. So for fun I checked and sure enough i have mine on order. Sounds like it isn't working for everyone but worth trying.

I see no need for it.  If I am sick I stay home and self medicate.  If I get real sick I will go to the hospital.  I know of some people that several times a month they get tested for the sniffles.  To me it's just another statistic for the government.

I have to agree, I know people that are the same way. I have to be almost dead before I want to go to the doctor or hospital. From my understanding Fever is the main things with Rona, so I would just make sure I have a good thermometer. heck use the thermapen if you have one.

I have not ordered and don't plan to because I see no need to know my status.  I am retired, not going to be around any young children who I could put at risk.  I know I sound callous, but don't really care about adults.  They have all had plenty of time to get vaccinated.  If they choose not to, I support their right to that choice and their right to any consequences flowing from that choice. I don't fear a lot for myself because I am vaccinated and boosted and have had a flu shot. As others said, if I feel sick, which I haven't during this whole two years despite living with someone who recently tested positive, I will go be tested then.

I ordered.  They are free, took 30 seconds to do, and the government and post office already have my address.  I would like to know if I have it so that I know if I have superpowers.  I also want to ensure I stay away from my parents who are boosted but still at risk if I am positive or within CDC window for transmitting if positive.

I guess I'm an odd ball. I ordered the kits as a precaution to assure me that I do not inadvertently infect one of my guest or relatives. The latest covid variant seems to be rampant here in AZ. Also, at my age early warning of infection would probably be helpful for survival odds.

I just ordered it!  I have no need for it!  I guess I am the angry white male they speak about.  Never had kids, yet I paid school taxes, yet for some reason I never got a break on my tax return for not having kids!  Any time the government offers something free, I am gonna put my face in the trough just to get even!
