Why? PCR tests don't tell you what you have. It very likely can be a common cold.
and remember to quarantine until your kit arrives!
What a joke
At this point I am not sure what good the testing does.
Omicron is pretty widespread and the symptoms should tell you to isolate. (If you are that sick you should probably isolate anyway).
So will people order tests "just in case" and thus unused tests will be in closets for months?
Then I have read (in reputable places) that you can be contagious for 2 days before any symptoms.
Rapid home tests are decent, but in real life maybe not so good.

This feels like generals fighting the last war.
This pandemic will effectively be over by the time these test arrive - but people will test positive for a virus that is no longer effecting them and freak out.
What we need to be concerned about is the fact that as the Wuhan virus becomes less and less dangerous to the general population, the State is becoming more draconian in their demands. This has never been about the virus - it's all about control.
Well this should “shutdown” COVID.
If this makes people feel better that’s fine but I really don’t know what this is going to accomplish, especially considering it takes at least a week to get said tests.
It just feels like the government is more desperate to appear like it’s being useful than actually being useful.
The website will crash on Jan 19 as millions try to get their "free" test kits. Theses aren't free, our taxes are paying for them! It should all be resolved in a few months. I don't think the Post Office could ship a million of these kits a day and at that rate it would take nearly a year to do this.
They're not "Covid tests", they're PCR tests.
SHIP is 7-12 days…then likely 3-5 days minimum in transit. So let’s call it two weeks assuming the post office doesn’t lose the package.

So, plan two weeks in advance to get the Rona so your "free" test can be meaningful.
