My wife goes through a quick test when she goes to visit her mom in the nursing home. If you own the machine(s) and have in house qualified lab techs the materials cost about $3 per test.

They are not charging $170 per test to visit old people. Maybe Biden should have his stuff at the nursing home. It’s where he should be anyway.

Someone is making a hell of a profit. The cost of the test is less than 50 bucks. All the rest is profit.

This is no doubt being done under contract.

Government contract boost cost a lot.

If they do it under prevailing wage guidelines you can bet the person performing the test $30+ per hour.

Welcome to “The Reveal” part of the Great Awakening folks.

I’m willing to bet President Trump mentions this at tomorrow’s SOTU from Orlando.

Exactly. Trump loved having press conferences with these hostile reporters. Just shows the difference between he and Biden.

OK, we now have razor-wire topped fence around the Capitol and the White House plans on charging reporters $170 to attend press briefings. Yet we are being told that Trump was a dictator, the dictator who constantly took questions from a hostile press. But of course, he was bad because he was hostile right back. But at least he didn’t charge them an admission fee.

Perhaps the WH can acquire some of those “more accurate” Chinese anal swabs for the press.

This also means that when Jen says she’ll circle back to you, that’s gonna be an extra $170.

The smaller outlets should form a pool and alternate the representative for each briefing.

Biden can’t recognize anyone so it will be embarrassing. He will need flash cards.Honestly just have Jill read him questions with prescripted answers those are really entertaining anyway.

Given that the most commonly used test for determining of someone has the corona virus is notoriously unreliable in its results, this could get interesting real quick.

The creators of the RT-PCR test, the most commonly used coronavirus test, say it yields between 80 and 97 percent false positive results

I bet it will only ACTUALLY be required for ‘unfriendly’ media. Toe the Administration Line, never ask a serious question, and they will be allowed in with a wink and a nod.
