President Joe Biden said in his State of the Union speech Tuesday night that Americans can order an additional four tests from COVIDtests.gov beginning next week."We have made hundreds of millions of tests available for you to order for free," Biden said. "Even if you already ordered free tests tonight, I am announcing that you can order more from covidtests.gov starting next week."When the government site launched in January, COVIDtests.gov received over 45 million orders. Now officials say fewer than 100,000 orders a day are coming in for the packages of four free rapid tests per household, delivered by the U.S. Postal Service.Still, the White House sees the program as a step toward a deeper, yet more elastic, testing infrastructure that will accommodate demand surges and remain on standby when cases wane."We totally intend to sustain this market," Dr. Tom Inglesby, testing adviser to the COVID-19 response team, told The Associated Press. "We know the market is volatile and will come up and down with surges in variants."Testing will become more important with mask requirements now easing, say some independent experts."If infection control is still our priority, testing is central," said Dr. Leana Wen, a former Baltimore health commissioner and commentator on the pandemic. "Four tests per household for one family will only last you one time. There should be enough tests for families to test twice a week."
