According to senior administration officials on a call with reporters on Friday:On the process of test procurement, a senior administration official said,"The administration is quickly completing a contracting process for this unprecedented purchase of 500 million at-home rapid tests, with over 420 million tests already under contract. All paths interactive through this program will be rapid at-home tests that have been granted an emergency use authorization by the FDA.
Pressed by CNN's Kaitlan Collins as to whether the US government had yet secured the initially promised half a billion tests, the official noted that"we're working to finalize the contract on the last 80 million, and this is an unprecedentedly large purchase," adding that"it's been going at a fast speed." The total cost for the initial 500 million tests, the official said, is around"$4 billion" for purchase and distribution.
I love how useless this is. Good job. 👍
Four rapid tests per household, which you can expect to receive in 10-15 days. This is not a solution.
wow so timely
You sure?
Oh jee thanks god we can make another pharma company rich!
But Do They Work Tho 🤦🏾♀️
How do I get a refund since I don't want my tax dollars to go to this?
Burning through that 2+ Trillion. The US will need more funding.
COVID is a hoax
These should arrive no later than 2023 since DeJoy is still at the helm. 🙄 cc. JoeBiden FireDeJoy
Our school does not accept the results. They must be tested at a medical facility in order to return back to school after quarantine for being exposed at school. SMH!
None of this should have been announced, suggested, or even mentioned as a 'plan,' until it was concrete and ready to ship the same day. Never make promises that are not already done on this level—you'll always fail to deliver and look foolish.
No way! 4 rapid tests? Christmas is coming extra early this year
Test kits Made in 🇨🇳 China ?

American peasants have become weak and obedient.
Money making scheme
Money grab

Money money money is not free
How exciting

Joe Biden ran on having a plan…. No plan just complete BS.
What about homeless ppl will they get one too?🤔
Not good enough. Only 4 tests per household. How about after that? How about elderly who are on Medicare? Such tests won't be covered by Medicare. Biden should allow all seniors regardless of insurance to get these tests for FREE. covid19 RapidTests
Americans really buy a lot of medication 😂😂😂I wonder how much %of their income goes to medicating them self😂😂😂
3 weeks too late but okay!
The 500 million COVID-19 rapid tests that Biden ordered are now available at your local Chinese restaurant.
Prepare for the website to crash down with immediate effect
😂. They don’t really work and even if they did each household would need 4-5 a day to make any appreciable difference. We failed. We lost the war. COVID wins
Ow that the pandemic is winding down….
This is good news. It would be nice to have in hand. Hopefully the cite survives the avalanche that it will get.
This is gonna be funny. 😩
