• I appreciate you posting this but think you should remove it. It is for current Colorado residents only. Their system has already collapsed from all of the requests. If you do sign up and actually receive an email to enter to it address, you either get ok tests and no response, or get an email that they have no tests to give. It’s a mess!

• I have done this twice as an Individual not affiliated with anything.

  Signed up 9/25->got e-mail and ordered 10/4->shipped 10/6->delivered by Amazon truck 10/7.
  Expiration 2022-04-01

  Signed up 12/20->got e-mail and ordered 12/24->shipped 1/6->delivered by USPS 1/7.
  Expiration 2022-10-16

  These should be stored between 35.6-86° F (2-30° C), so get the large yellow envelope in the house as soon as possible.

  To reduce exposure to the cold weather, I wished Amazon had delivered directly instead of handing over to USPS.

  I guess I will have to rely on the control line in the result window to ensure accuracy.

• Ordered one...thanks Doc

• You could also just stay home if you're sick, the way we used to do in the good old days. That will help in most circumstances.

  • Fuck off

  • Exactly! Use your brain instead of outsourcing your brain to a test or "the experts" who tell you to go back to work after 5 days, even if you may not feel well?

    • the experts say 5 days and no symptoms not 5 days even if you don't feel well.

  • It can also detect asymptomatic/presymptomatic cases when taken before attending a large gathering. Saved our family from a superspreading Christmas (the person that tested positive then started symptoms the next day).

    • Handy to know to detect pre-symptomatic, but Omicron is unstoppable, and will be the best natural booster you could get, as it so mild; milder than most people's side effects from the shot, and longer lasting!

      Just get the infection and get it over with! it breakthrough vaxxed and those with natural immunity.

      Let us know when you get it, so you can celebrate the end of the pandemic!

• Thanks for posting Doc. I'm in Colorado and of big interest to me but as stated below, No Deal if you are not in the state of Colorado.
  Also I guess the tests have a ~expiration date so I'll hold off for now... "Please note that each individual order comes with one (1) Binax OTC kit that contains two (2) tests each for a total of two (2) tests to be used over a one-month period."

  • You are supposed to use both tests that come in a box within a 2-3 day period. The expiration of the tests I received are November 2022.

• Thank you!!!!

• Thanks!

• Do they ship to non-Colorado addresses?

  • No, when filling out address CO is pre-selected for state and greyed out so can't be changed.

    Don't bother if you're not in Colorado.

  • No. You have to be a resident, and have a child in the school system or be a teacher in it.

    • You only have to be a resident. No other requirements.

  • booooooo

  • Probably not, since the application requires that you put a county of residence.
    Other key sections from their website don't mention other states:
    - "Colorado is distributing free rapid COVID-19 over-the-counter (OTC) tests directly to resident’s homes."
    - "These programs help ensure Coloradans have access to multiple free COVID-19 testing options"
    - "All Coloradans can sign up for the Rapid At-Home COVID-19 testing program."

• It took about 2.5 weeks for me to get through the signup process and receive mine.

  • Once you've gone through it the first time, subsequent orders usually ship more quickly
