Most of them are anti-vaxxers. And some people are buying up as many as they can. I'm fine with them raising the price. There have been times I really need them since I have small children, so let them raise the price to meet the demand curve. I just want one to be in the store when I need it.

It pisses me off that so many of them are wasted by people who don't need to test. If your roommate is confirmed to have Covid and you start feeling sick a few days later, it should be obvious you have it too.

This. Even pre-covid, if you're sick, fucking stay inside and away from people.

That's what happened with me. Roomie was sick and tested positive. I got sick too but my test was negative(took my test about 2 days after symptoms started. 5-10ish days after exposure depending on whether my coworker also had it and how long roomie was presymptomatic/asymptomatic for)

My symptoms were mild and were gone several days before his despite getting sick several days later then him so either my case was super mild and I got a false negative or I dodged it somehow because I am boosted.

I was implying you should immediately use sick days so you dont have to work, but I forgot that not every state has guaranteed sick days.

The be vaccined or test weekly mandate goes into effect soon right?

On one hand, I'm still a proponent of mass testing. On the other it hits the wallets of the antivaxxers and I'm kinda glad about that

Most local pharmacies don't do testing, and recently when I tried to get one with my doctor it took literally 5 days to get it done.

Two years in and you can't just walk into a place and get a test. Meanwhile in South Korea they had free drive through testing within weeks of Covid starting to spread. No wonder they've had like 1/5 of the cases and deaths as America per capita

People ignoring the fact that tests ARE free.

These are the quick tests that stores are jacking up prices for. For people who want fast answers.

You can still be tested for free by getting an appointment at CBS.

I'm anti-capitalism as you guys, but come on. The government only allows this stuff on things that aren't essential.

It seems, demand for the paid tests has risen so much that no store can keep them in stock so everyone that wanted to buy one is now forced to go the free route. Now that people cant get paid tests they are overwhelming the scheduled free tests.

Because most of the people buying them buy them in bulk and waste them, or are just antivax dumb fucks who test all the time to avoid getting vaccinated

And where is your data or source? What evidence do you have that those are the majority of people who buy tests?

You people are insane. Somebody buying a test and taking it is a good thing because theyll know their status and can act accordingly aka stay at home if its positive.

Its called common sense?

if you are vaccinated, and your family is also vaccinated, chances are you probably wont feel the need to get tested nearly as much as antivaxxers probably would?

Im not figuring people with weakened immune systems into the equation because they make up such a small amount of the population

So yeah it makes more sense to me that people who refuse to get vaccinated are the ones buying out all of the test, more than likely
