I've listened to the China Virus task force streaming on Fox news right now, 3/24/2020 Tuesday 3:00 pm....
3 times the question was asked,
Where can a single american citizen get a home test kit?
Answers: Yes, we are making those available. Yes, good question, this will free up ppe equipment for nurses, etc.
Nobody, nobody answers that we can go to Wal-mart, Walgreens, order on Amazon.com?
Where?
These are our leaders, and they can't answer a simple arsed question?
Take the online test questions, if you discern yes, you could have the virus, where do you get the home/self test swab?
Where?
And besides that I'd like personally to ask; where do we get the self test swab from please?

After all, it's not like the Corona Virus is something new! We evidently knew all about it in 2007:

My belief is that big pharma plans to show up with one as soon as WTP show ourselves desperate enough to pay HUGE prices for it.

The self test isn’t ready yet. The reason it s called a “self test” is because it is administered by the patient to themselves without a healthcare worker need to be protected (wearing mask, gown, gloves etc. which is used only once and thrown out. You still need a doctor referral which means you need to exhibit symptoms. Just easier on the docs and less equipment used.

You know... shaking head. Really they shouldn't talk about this in public if it is not available right now. Thank you for the answer.
It may cause more panic and worry than if they hadn't even mentioned it at all.
For instance; (sighs big time) some one heard about the self fix for the virus using an aquarium cleaning product they read on the side panel contents had some form of 'chloroquine' in it. They died. But there are people who do that sort of thing, think they'll get ahead of the game and they're smart enough to read and see the element in one of the ingredients in their household cleaning supplies. Oh my gawd. So my point is they shouldn't even have made that information available until they had the pills/product available on the market for us to acquire, at a cheap wal-mart type price, no? ON the other hand, those people are among us no matter what, right? :)

Would you be ok with a spot of blood on a card and mailing that in?
