Covid 19 Home Test Kits - Will they be accepted as a negative test?

By
Real Estate Agent with Progressive Realty (Boise Idaho) www.Progressive-Realty.info DB-17066

Recently, President Biden announced that people are able to get free Covid 19 home test kits.  If you buy one, you can get reimbursed.  But who will accept these?

What if I really wanted to go to a concert or a sporting event but thought I might have Covid; would I have someone else take the test for me? After all, no one has ever used someone else's urine on a drug test; or used Google during an un-proctored exam, right?

However, there is one company that I have never heard of anyone cheating with on an at home test.  That is why I recommend Cologuard!

Remember, all the other test are just crap!

My sister's husband just noticed a $50 /month charge from his insurance for covid tests to be sent by mail.

Had to prove vaccine identification cards to not have the charge.

Looks like this "free covid tests" that I thought the Senate appropriated money specifically for that, are now our taxpayer money charged once and now through insurance companies.

Wow, a $50 / month charge!


According to the CDC (sorry I had to quote someone); "the estimated incubation period is between 2 and 14 days with a median of 5 days".  I don't think most people realize that even if you test negative now, you might not later today or tomorrow or next week due to the incubation period.

Brian England just like politics and religion . . . everyone has their own version and they swear by it.  I think it is like the X-Files - "The truth is out there" - however, we have to wait till the next episode to try to find out where.

Hi Jim,
This made me laugh. You gave me an idea for porch pirates. I was reading a post by Ron and Alexandra Seigel  this morning. I've been in the cleaning mode lately and I'm thinking I need to get some Tiffany boxes to put all my junk in and place them on my porch. I wonder what the biggest size box they have is. That should guarantee free junk removal.  LOL

That's funny Carol Williams ! Let us know if it works!

Carol Williams if you laughed, my objective was reached. You might consider electronic and video game boxes since most porch pirates may not recognize Tiffany boxes.

Hello Jim Paulson - much like the burger establishment ... Crap-in-a-Box 💩

I prefer to flush mine down the toilet with the other toxic waste.

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist did you hear that during the e-coli days when that burger establishment changed their slogan to "We cook the crap out of our burgers!"

LOL you are so funny Jim!  And as for the incubation period.....that's exactly what we said about the whole crazy thing.  Gotta laugh about stuff!

Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker I would much rather have our health officials and government be honest and admit that is a variation on a pandemic and we don't really know, so let's be cautious until we do.


I did log onto the new website and ordered my free home test kits mainly to see how they are instructing people to use them and what they are supposed to do with the results.

Joan Cox I wonder if I should trademark that saying and sell it to Cologuard "All other tests are just crap!"
