This site apparently will reply with a coupon code of some kind for altruan.com if you email them.

The least expensive option depends on how many at-home molecular COVID tests you take.

Amount of tests Brand Cost
0-2 tests Lucira $50 per test
2-6 tests Metrix $50 reader + $25 per test
7 tests and up Pluslife with discount codes $175 reader + $7 per test

3E0 ($150 + $20 per test) is never least expensive.

According to the insta comments, the discount code brings the Pluslife down to $175.

Sounds like a lucrative scam market.

I don’t think the market for Americans who are concerned about a plague is large enough to justify all the machinery costs

Did the half useless antigen tests not make that clear already?

So is this actually a reliable test or are you dunking on it?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

As far as we know, these are reliable. But we live in a capitalist hellscape and that could change at any time. For example...
