Not sure if this topic has been covered yet but would like a little bit information on this COVID-19 rapid test are they available to the public or do you still have to make a appointment with your pharmacist to get tested  
wouldn’t it be nice to test your relatives yourself prior getting together at the holidays

You can grab them for free at the local liquor store in Nova Scotia.  
 
They are free at literally hundreds of places in Saskatchewan.  
 
Manitoba will not even release the number of rapid tests they have given out.

Wish the rapid tests were available here as well, would be nice if everyone could test themselves prior to getting out with people, or having people into your home.

Over 2 million rapid tests were given to the government! They need to be sent to all schools and workplaces… I’m tired of this government waiting for our ICUs to be at 100% capacity before they act!

I believe if you need proof of neg rapid test it must be provided thru pharmacy at a charge. Our government has them but refuses to distribute them. If you or someone you know travels to saskatchewan they are free. Locations are posted on government site(will not be accepted as proof of negative test, will only be for your own reassurance)

What I'm tired of is endless complaining from an apathetic society. The Manitoba government WILL do what the voters want providing the voters make it clear that their actions/inactions WILL be reflected at the polls come the next election.  
 
These are public service workers..... period. Their boss is their voter constituency. You can choose to assert yourself of stand back and allow the politicians to continue making bad choices regarding your health and your life.  
 
Call your local MP. Everyone should.

Home Health Care Pharmacy is selling rapid antigen tests which are suitable for home-use. The tests are easy to use, have a step-by-step video to follow, and can be used to test family prior to holiday gatherings. Results in 15 minutes. Cost is $34.99.

I heard they have them, but are about $100 a pop

This link sort of covers my feelings at the present time.
