What on earth is the rationale for limiting tests to four per household? My spouse and I will get two tests each. My friend who lives on her own will get four. And my friends with three teenagers will get four tests…for five people. At least I think so. Math is not my forte.
@WentRogue Currently each person is required to buy one test -- if you can find them. The govt is making one billion tests available free to every household that asks for it, four at a time. It's the simplest way to get them out. If that means we must help our neighbors, then so be it.
@dave_in_sa Four tests means my spouse and I can both get tested exactly twice. I’m not planning to give away my tests and I doubt most others will, either.
@dave_in_sa I get that it’s a logistical puzzle. But it’s one that other countries have managed to solve.
@dave_in_sa It wasn’t that long ago that the administration’s spokesperson was ridiculing the very notion that people should even receive free tests.
@WentRogue @dave_in_sa Put them in all the vending machines FOR FREE in every public space - libraries, government centers, etc.
@RebeccaShlafer @WentRogue @dave_in_sa that would be a great idea if we had unlimited amounts of tests available. but we don't, and this would just be a gift to hoarders
