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.
As someone working in a public place, I used the ten they gave me already (they only did it once iirc). Where do I stock up on these other shit ton of free tests? I had to pay out of pocket the last four, and that gets fucking expensive.
