I want a box of these in my medicine cabinet. Why to I think that the FDA is the main reason I don't already have one.

While im perfectly ok with the covid guidlines, they are well supported by medical consensus i do agree tests like this are a better way to go. Not sure how id feel about tax payers needing to pay for it, i might be ok with that.
@freemo In the USA? I've never seen one for anything other than Covid except in a medical facility. A quick search of the world largest online retailer didn't turn up any either. Do you know a supplier who will ship to a US address?
Amazon.com seems to have one combined test. A search on google has several hits.
That said i dividually each test is <$10 each so just buying seperate tests seem to be cheaper than a combined test.
@freemo With all the scar tissue in my bionic schnoz it is worth a lot to work from a single sample, but I'll look more carefully after dinner. Thanks.
@antares you could actually work from a single sample, at least in theory. The liquid is almost entierly saline solution, the other chemicals are just preservatives that doesnt effect the tests. So, in theory, you can use the sample from one test to do two tests if there is enough to go around.
@antares Huh, you can get at home tests over the coubter just fine, they are nowhere near $100 either
