26. Ok, fine.

Jan 2022

I asked them a question and they clarified. I said we were fine. They and
I are in good standing. How am I thinking something bad?

What am I supposed to do, not ask questions for clarification?

I'm waiting to see if they heard on the TV segment they mention that it also stated the telephone number rollout. It was moments after the part they mentioned. I'm curious how people process what they hear and see.

There's nothing nefarious nor accusatory going on here. I'm just curious about how people receive information and then share it as they do with others.

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

i wonder if people can order the tests for a friend or neighbor or relative who is without orleans Jan 2022 #20

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

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

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
