@luckytran@med-mastodon.comCOVID tests are expensive in the US, and you never know when you'll need them; it's best to always have them on hand and ready to go.
So please don't delay, order your 4 free COVID tests (which will be sent to you through the mail) now: https://covidtests.gov
@luckytran how much do they cost? Just curious
Here in Spain rapid tests are about 2 dollars
@sagilca @luckytran Rapid tests are $12 each at pharmacies here in Minnesota (unless one gets lucky and can get a bulk discount, then they might be $9 each).
It's not great.
@sagilca @luckytran The United States is not a sensible country.
@michael_w_busch @luckytran I lived there for 3 years and it made me really appreciate Europe 
@sagilca @luckytran usually about $10/test
@sagilca @luckytran In New England (U.S.), typically abt USD$24 and up at a pharmacy. e.g., https://www.walgreens.com/search/results.jsp?Ntt=Covid%20tests
@aleciabatson @luckytran it's crazy, here you get the covid plus influenza for 2 euros at any pharmacy. Online onbulk even cheaper.
@sagilca @luckytran perhaps this illustrates differences between health care and health profit systems.
@luckytran Rapid tests cost a literal order of magnitude less in Europe. We bought some when we arrived and were shocked how cheap they were by comparison
