Are those tests hard to come by in the US? They sell those tests everywhere here where I am in Scandinavia in supermarkets and on gas stations. They are something like $5.
- jm_l 5y agoFor most of the pandemic in the US it's been about that easy, but right now specifically it's very challenging to get tests because of the Omicron surge
- merlincorey 5y agoPharmacies near me have been sold out of the tests for weeks, and I would imagine it is similar situation throughout much of the United States.
- cameldrv 5y agoNo one wants to say this, but presumably the government purchasing 1 billion tests for this program reduced the retail supply a lot.
- ryanSrich 5y agoVery difficult from my experience. 39 drug stores within a 50 mile radius of me were sold out. Had to buy a 2 pack online for $49.
- ghaff 5y agoI'm told that they're quite hard to find and pricing is something like $50 for two.
- neogodless 5y agoWhoa. I bought two for $15 from Walmart several times. They've raised the price to $20 now. Usually $23 or so for a 2-pack at CVS.
