National price cap!
At-home rapid Covid-19 tests in Germany are €1. I took one nearly every morning while I was there for two weeks. In the US, it was celebrated when at-home rapids made it to convenience stores for $24 each. Want to mitigate spread? Make them cheap and accessible to all.

@michaelmina_lab seems quite knowledgeable about rapid test strips and has said in the past that they should cost $1 or less to manufacture. The FDA has apparently taken control of rapid testing in US, which is preventing competition and cheaper imports.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

However, when it comes to COVID these days, Germany is not a good role model:-)

No, you can get PCR tests for free. If you can get an appointment and can get to the site.

Shortage has brought the price in Germany up to around 3-5 EUR per single test currently.

I live in Belfast, Northern Ireland we get them free. We have a whole big box and take one every day and report our results to the NHS. (Voluntarily)

Yep I just got another box through the post yesterday. It’s crazy the price ppl are expected to pay in USA. Our nhs is in a bad way here, thanks Swann, but at least we don’t have to pay for tests.
