Made in China. No thanks
There hasn't been a single test that was made in China.

All the ones I've got from the government were made in the USA or South Korea.

I would be surprised if most people didn't realize South Korea is its own country.

Quote from Clk1986 :
This is what we did while living in a hotel for 2 months. Even though my wife worked there, I didn't really feel comfortable having random employees looking at my mail, plus once you move, they will still end up getting some form of mail with your name on it for years, even with a change of address, and that could be problematic. Definitely worth the annoying cost and slight inconvenience, imo.
And for those renting a po box for covid test kits, ups store box contents can also be forwarded by ups to any address upon demand. Usps doesn't offer this service. So for those living in an RV and traveling the country, it's convenient to forward from your ups store box to the local ups store for pickup.

Quote from pigtilly2000 :
Your context is completely wrong. Directly quoting from the FDA announcement you referenced: "There is an increased chance that the tests from the lot numbers listed below may give false negative results"
https://www.forbes.com/sites/stev...vid-tests/

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/...t#accuracy

For those wondering "Just How Accurate" are these tests, they are NOT perfect.

Not only false negatives, but also false positives, so if you did get a Positive rapid test result, you'll want to get a PCR test to confirm it isn't a false positive.

If you're feeling sick and get a negative rapid test, you'll want to continue to rapid test daily (initially, the viral load, amount of viruses in you, can be too low for the rapid test to say you're infected) for the next 2-3 days and/or PCR test.

Keep in mind that it can take a week or so between initial contact with the virus to when you've developed enough viruses in your body to trigger these tests.

(Just like a cold or flu. The moment a sick kid sneezes on you, you feel fine and maybe 1 virus enters your nose and you will still test negative. It's only a day or more later that the virus has replicated and you're dead sick and tests will indicate positive infection.)

How accurate is this thing?
And how fast is the expiration date?
See my post above.
Not accurate enough to bet on, but helpful in pointing you towards a pcr test.

Don't waste using them since it's been over a week.

Me and Daughter just got it over Turkey Day.
Did a ZPack
on 3rd day was feeling good.

My brother and sister inlaw got it month. prior they said antivirals were nasty.
regrets taking them
ZPacks are antibiotics, and will do nothing for a viral illness. It may cause problems by decimating your gut and body microbiome, and lead to antibiotic resistant bacterial issues.

So 4 tests would probably be just about right for 1 incident? You get the symptoms, and then use 1 to confirm the +. You get on something like Paxlovid, and then use another 1 week later, still +. Use another 1 when you feel like you're over it but still end up positive. Another 3 days later, and you say screw y'all, I feel fine, start going back to your normal routine. Use that last one 2 days after for the - and say, see I told you so.

It's not about needing the test to know you are sick. It's when you get sick and you want to know whether you have covid or just a cold/flu. Applause
