FDA authorizes an at-home COVID-19 test — but some states still ban it

Interesting. The Bill of Rights–well, that’s just a speed bump, but the regulatory regime, that’s sacrosanct.

Easy, have it sent to a friend out of state who sends it to you.

Or once sent to said friend, take a nice drive. Gas is cheap.
