There will be another round of free tests that you can order next week if you need more.

I hadn't heard that, so thanks for posting. Luckily we haven't had to use the first boxes, but so glad we have them. We are still being extra cautious even though things have settled down here lately. We're continuing to use curbside pickup for everything.

I'm still using a mask even though it's not required anywhere now. At the store today I saw maybe 50% of people still wearing masks. I have a feeling I'm going to need some trips to the hospital (for tests and treatment) so I don't want to get sick!

I received the tests I ordered. I will continue to wear a mask also for a while. It doesn't take much effort to do so to be safe. I think that the decision to not mask and to stop other mitigation efforts is a bit premature. I think we need a little more time to be sure that there is not a serious variant ready to strike. There are still many people who are not vaccinated in various parts of the country.

Agreed !

Yep, we are still masking and using curbside pickup for everything. Colorado has had a significant decrease in positivity the last couple of weeks, but I remain nervous about future variants, too!

I received my second set of tests today. Very fast shipping this time round.

Mandycat · March 22, 2022, 08:58:35 PM

I also received my second set of tests. Took just a few days to arrive this time. We have had very low numbers of cases and the positivity % is around 1.4% here in Maryland. However, now there is a new variant and it could increase those numbers in a short period of time. Cases caused by the new variant have been increasing in numbers in New York and New Jersey especially. Still being cautious.

You can now order a third round of 8 additional free test kits.

That's good! And FYI, Kaiser offers 4 free tests per month for their members, too.
