PSA: BonaFideMasks, the place I order my KN-95s from, now carries really cheap Genabio COVID tests! And if you use the code TRUST25 at checkout through August 31, you get 25% off!
This is not a paid endorsement – I just like BonaFideMasks. I’ve bought KN-95s from them throughout the pandemic and just ordered these new COVID tests from them, and with the discount, it’s costing me less than half what I’d pay at my local drug store.
Of course, we shouldn’t have to BUY these tests at all. If tests were free and more people used them whenever they feel sick, fewer people would be spreading COVID everywhere. A lot of those “summer colds” are… not colds. And of course we also need to restructure society so folks have the time and resources to stay home and get better, etc etc etc.
But we do what we can, and right now I suggest getting hold of some tests and using them when you’ve been exposed to COVID or don’t feel well.
At the end of September we’ll be able to get four free tests from the government via COVIDtests.gov. And that’s good! But that’s not enough for most folks, so I’m happy to see BonaFideMasks selling cheap tests now.
UPDATE: A Bluesky user says she got previously got a test from BonaFide that expired in less than 30 days. But I called BonaFide today and they said the tests they’re selling now expire on March 15, 2025.
