So, the #US gov is making free #COVID test kits available again—a good thing! But weirdly, none of the news articles or announcements seem to explain, um, like, WHY NOW? Is there some kind of surge going on? Perhaps we ought to consider some other protections beyond testing? Maybe? Who even knows?

(FYI, yes, wastewater COVID testing is showing a sharp rise, but I can't find much other data even being collected anymore, sadly.)
