  1. Great use of taxpayer dollars!

    • I agree. It should be as easy as possible to get tests to find out if you have COVID-19 to keep from infecting others.
      We had a family gathering in December and were lucky to have our guests do a quick test before the gathering … so the person who tested positive did not infect others.

      • That was sarcasm! Testing does not work for Omicron. It may have worked for Alpha/Beta and Delta/Eplison, but Omicron is too infectious. This is now effectively the flu. It is not a question of IF you will get it, but WHEN you will get it. Since age is the biggest risk factor and no one is getting younger, there is no time like the present.

        • It is sarcasm that doesn’t work. Tests work, masks work, ventilation works. We need to use all the tools.

          As for getting infected, no thank you. There is no long lasting immunity so you will be infected over and over again. Each time there is opportunity for damage to many body systems and parts – cardiovascular, immune, metabolic, kidneys, liver, brain… We will be living in a world of increasingly disabled people. Sounds like something to avoid like the plague.

        • Testing doesn’t work? So if someone takes a test and comes up positive and as a result decides against going to a large gathering that they were otherwise planning to attend–that doesn’t reduce exposures and cases??? I would argue the opposite, particularly since it is “too contagious.”

    • Agreed; it is good to see action being taken by the federal government to address the spread and the scarcity with tests.
