    If you don’t have any symptoms, why would you use a RAT? I’m not sure what they cost where you are, but they aren’t all that cheap in Australia.

      Feels weird to dunk on someone else’s healthcare system as an American, but I have a shit ton of rapid tests that the US government gave me for free.

        Haha yeah but the reason we have to pay for them now is that we have 90%+ vaccination rate so Covid really isn’t a big deal here any more. The vaccines are free. The RATs were also free until a year ago.
