Last week my pharmacy became inaccessible b/c they offered free covid testing. Lines were out the door! Luckily four days later the pharmacy ran out of tests, normal capitalism was restored and I could pick up my prescription.
I see no utility in arbitrary testing. It burdens urgent care clinics and pharmacies; normal business ceases completely until the testing stops.
If you're ill, stay home and/or call a doctor. If you're desperately ill, call 911 or go to a hospital. If you're OK then stay away from crowds, including covid testing sites.
Asking USPS to distribute/collect covid tests will slow USPS delivery further. The USPS had recently announced a slowdown in delivery anyway. This looks like a politician's way to damage the USPS or its reputation.
