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

@RebeccaShlafer @WentRogue @dave_in_sa so some people would get lots of tests while other people (with less means to seek out free tests) got none, and have to buy them from the hoarders. this is the problem the government is trying to avoid
