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.
@WentRogue probably so they don't have to deal with the logistics of putting a different number of tests in each package. just make millions of packs-of-4 and stick labels on them. that's the fastest way to get them out
@WentRogue Limiting to 4 also gives the impression you don’t need to continuously test.
@WentRogue Original order of 500 million tests, divide by 4. 125 million boxes of 4 or 1 box per household.
@WentRogue I think the idea is to get tests to people as quickly as possible. Without having to take more time to figure out numbers in each household. Those who end up with too many tests should share them.
@WentRogue I will horde my 4 and sell them for drugs.
