Same where I am in #Shenzhen

IMPORTANT: Those at-home tests you’ll be able to order next week won’t arrive by Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza or New Year’s. BUT! If you have private insurance you can walk into most drug stores and get 8 free at-home tests at no cost PER INSURED PERSON, EVERY 30 DAYS.

“Now, a massive legal battle is playing out across the country as more than 200 providers of public drinking water, including Lakewood, sue manufacturers, distributors and in some cases the Defense Department in federal court to determine who will pay the cleanup bills that will tally in the billions of dollars.”
