Starting Monday, [people in the US] can once again order free at-home COVID-19 tests to be delivered straight to their homes.

The Biden administration announced last week that it is providing $600 million in funding to produce the new tests and restarting a website allowing Americans to order up to four tests per household.

Orders can be placed at COVIDTests.gov, and the no-cost tests will be delivered for free by the United States Postal Service starting Oct. 2, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.

    For a domain using the TLD “world”, and then defaulting to US news, is pretty annoying.

    Why not put US in the title?

      I kept the title verbatim because of rule 4 of /c/news: “4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.”

      But I did specify “people in the US” in the summary body for clarity.

      The news community is primarily US news. If you want primarily non-US news, try the worldnews community.

      If you don’t like it, take it up with the admins, or host your own instance.

        The sidebar literally says the world is welcome and that this is a world news community.

        usdefaultism at it again.

      What’s annoying is seeing this same damn whiny complaint on every US news post in this community.

      Get the fuck over it already.
