     How come other countries are mailing 5 tests per person and the US can’t even give people appointments

     In the part of Sweden I'm in you just go get a test kit from the box outside the general healthcare clinic, go home and swab, register the test tube to your electronic id, then you go drop the test tube in the box below the box. Two days later the lab texts you the outcome.

     @clacke @FirstProgenitor In parts of New York City, there is no appointment needed. Go to a sidewalk testing booth, and wait. I don't know about anywhere else in the US, but when I've needed a test, it has been incredibly convenient.

     @lnxw37a2 @clacke im talking about the longer, more accurate Covid tests NOT the rapid ones. I don’t know when the last time you got a test was, but literally everyone I talked to has read online that they're available in a location, they do to the location and they're sold out. I've heard of people going to 4 or 5 locations to hunt one down. My partner tried for three days to wake up at 7 am to get to testing sites early and they were still out when he got there. This has all been within the past 2-4 weeks, since the enormous winter boom in Covid cases that if you haven't noticed, our country has not been handling well. I'm sorry your experiences are not universal

     @FirstProgenitor @lnxw37a2 That sounds really frustrating and I'm sad to hear it happening to you and yours. I wish my experience, and that of New Yorkers apparently, were universal.
     
     I don't mean to rub it in anyone's face, I only mean to say that what you're experiencing didn't need to happen and someone bears responsibility for making it that way.
     
     Where is this, if you don't mind?
