The US government's free home COVID tests website is once again taking orders for no-cost, at-home COVID tests delivered via the US Mail. Each household in the US can order four more free rapid tests.

I put my order in today. According to the USPS, "Orders will ship free starting the week of October 2, 2023." There's also the following note regarding test expiration dates:

Tests may show "expired" dates on the box, but FDA has extended those dates; see the full list of extended expiration dates.

Presumably, that means they'll at least start by shipping more of what's already in stock, rather than wait for the new-build tests announced last week.

It stinks that we still need these; given the need, though, far better to have them than not.
