COVID PCR Tests that Ship to the U. S.? (midwest.social)

Hey; for anyone from the U. S., would you know where to get any PCR tests?

I can't tell if they're just out, now, but every place I use eventually stops selling them.

Apparently, the https://www.thehealthhub.com/ sells some, still, but their checkout page seems like a mess and keeps throwing CORS errors; https://www.labcorp.com/ seems to, as well, though I can't seem to load the site on my Wi-Fi, for some bizarre reason (loads on the phone just fine when using data, though). Regardless, the tests seem backed by 23andMe which doesn't inspire great confidence but, also, 23andMe lists their PCR tests as out of stock on their own site (so I suspect LabCorp will eventually list these as out of stock someday, as well).

Anyway, may be a long shot but figured I'd ask.

Yeah, they're not perfect unfortunately and I've heard Metrix had a bad batch a year or two ago, and are notorious for being much less reliable the closer they get to their expiration date. Though I do hear they've gotten better and will replace faulty tests, there's an error code or something to let you know.

PlusLife are supposed to be much more reliable, but so freaking hard to come by and i can't even afford the $300 testing machine. doomjak

Good luck in your hunt and if happen to find something, please update your post. I'll be sure to keep an eye out. catgirl-salute
