    We get boxes and boxes of these at work from the government (aged care home) and are encouraged to take them home for free because they’ll probably expire otherwise.

    I wish these scalpers a very eat shit and die.

    Remember when you could get free PCR testing in AU? I remember getting in an argument with the person taking my swab because i had only given them my first initial instead of my full first name haha, yes

    I’ve been told you can still get these free at libraries, worth having a look, theyre a ‘bit’ cheaper at chemist wearhouse too

    There’s a thing going around at work and I wanted to test.

    Fucked up thing is that even if I could afford to test, there’s no standards or quality assurance to ensure they work anymore.

    It’s like they just want to wait twenty years for legal firms to put together a class action suit for covid complications.

      The liquid was dried up in all the home tests I had lol. I had to go to urgent care to get tested for a recent mystery illness. Absolutely surreal to be taking my mask off and have a nurse not wearing a mask swab my nostril while I have respiratory illness symptoms.

    apparently if you want a course of paxlovid in Ontario it’s no longer supplied by the government so it’s 1400$ and it’s fairly hard to find
