I used to share a mailbox with my landlord. We added "1/2" to the street address to alert FuzzyRabbit Jan 2022 #7

A bigger problem with this scheme to hand out covid tests: FuzzyRabbit Jan 2022 #9

"scheme?" but you're probably right about the lack of availability of the internet nt orleans Jan 2022 #11

I could have used a better word than scheme, I guess. FuzzyRabbit Jan 2022 #15

Good question Meowmee Jan 2022 #38

Yes. A woman who was interviewed on ABC last night was doing just that. GoCubsGo Jan 2022 #41

Yes you can inthewind21 Jan 2022 #45

Which is why they're working to add a phone number for tests. herding cats Jan 2022 #13

No disrespect intended. I wrote my comment in haste. FuzzyRabbit Jan 2022 #16

We're fine. So, you saw on TV where an activist was mentioning this issue. herding cats Jan 2022 #19

Scheme is frequently used in the UK . BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #21

Cool. herding cats Jan 2022 #22

Well, if you want to think something bad, have at it. BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #23

Ok, fine. herding cats Jan 2022 #26

There is also a phone number and specific community outreach. W_HAMILTON Jan 2022 #14

Anyone can get internet at a library. BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #24

Or a phone with data and internet access madville Jan 2022 #27

people without mailing addresses, as well Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #46

Another issue Meowmee Jan 2022 #10

Let's be honest here. herding cats Jan 2022 #17

These thing all may be true Meowmee Jan 2022 #37

Family of 6 on my block. BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #25

Ah, I see the angle here now. herding cats Jan 2022 #29

Wow, really itching for an argument, aren't you? BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #30

No, I'm not. herding cats Jan 2022 #31

Yeah. BlackSkimmer Jan 2022 #32

I don't even know what that means? herding cats Jan 2022 #33

Yes but at least they can get 4 free tests. Meowmee Jan 2022 #36

Their insurance covers 8 free tests/month, if I understand things correctly. GoCubsGo Jan 2022 #42

not everyone has insurance. Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #47

Yes, I know that. GoCubsGo Jan 2022 #48

It's unconscionable, IMO. WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2022 #54

Agree Meowmee Jan 2022 #56

that's a huge problem. nt orleans Jan 2022 #12

It's brand new and buggy. herding cats Jan 2022 #18

Be the first one to have some sent to your work address madville Jan 2022 #28

So cheating the process?? Brilliant!! USALiberal Jan 2022 #40

Why is it that other countries are managing to get free rapid tests to their citizens? Spider Jerusalem Jan 2022 #34

Yes, had no idea they got that many Meowmee Jan 2022 #39

Maybe because it's easier to distribute to 67 million people occupying an area GoCubsGo Jan 2022 #43

Or maybe it's easier if you have a national health system instead of hundreds of private companies.. Spider Jerusalem Jan 2022 #50

Yep, there's that, too. GoCubsGo Jan 2022 #51

This Meowmee Jan 2022 #57

Because our leaders put all their chips on vaccines, when we need masks and tests, too. WhiskeyGrinder Jan 2022 #55

Is there only 1 mailbox? KentuckyWoman Jan 2022 #35

one mailbox Grasswire2 Jan 2022 #49

I lived in a duplex years ago. It had a different address than the other. LiberalFighter Jan 2022 #52

This is being done thru the Post Office. I would say it is their fault. LiberalFighter Jan 2022 #53

Its stunning how badly they are running the free test kits. SYFROYH Jan 2022 #58
