This is the government test kits as they arrived from the USPS facility. They were in a plastic white bag, basically.
Below is the four tests out of the bubble wrap and rubber band.
The distribution system seems to working well.

The package has a tracking number.
Let me put it plainly. Texas is a scheme, not a state.
If Texas is allowed to continue to enforce it's unique laws through a "marshall" service of the public, it will no longer be a state, but, an authonomous governing authority without any influence of federal law. It is legislated secession. The Republicans in the US Senate are enforcing that directive. They are turning State's Rights on it's head to satisfy Evangelicals that want to disconnect from any brush with abortion. They don't have a problem with poverty and the death penalty at all.
The USA should have maintained it's boycott of the Chinese Olympics.
The athletes can't compete anyway because as soon as they qualify they get sick with the virus and then bring it home.
International agreements mean nothing to politics.
All that motivates Putin is his propaganda politics. NATO has done nothing to insight any war. It has been acting defensively since Russia first invaded Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. Putin will cry about "a threat to the Russian people" and build permission by Russians to go into war. Half of Russia will not support him in his decisions about violence, but, it doesn't matter because the government is so corrupt.
Putin started is "Russian people" campaign some time ago and has taken steps all along the way with the Russian Duma cranking out legislation to back every violent decision Putin makes. What the Russian Duma doesn't do is uphold international agreements and treaties to stop the violent regime of Vladimir Putin. The Duma and Putin acting together is a strong basis for extremely tough sanctions.
Putin treats his "Russian people" campaign and politics as if the world wants to commit genocide against them and Russia is the only safe haven for Russian people. That is the entirty of his actions in promoting violence against The West.
The United Nations and NGOs need to conduct investigations into his charges and debunk his rantings. It would provide a basis of opposing Putin's actions and begin to end his hostility by The West. The World Court could hear such a case.
Putin, today, is warning The West and Ukraine (click here) as France's President Macron is in Moscow. This is the Putin progaganda machine at work. The civilized world must confront his accusations with more than peace talks. His allogations must be investigated.

Kyiv/Moscow - Russian President Vladimir Putin (click here) accused the West on Tuesday of deliberately creating a scenario designed to lure it into war and ignoring Russia's security concerns over Ukraine.
In his first direct public comments on the crisis for nearly six weeks, a defiant Putin showed no sign of backing down from security demands that the West has called non-starters and a possible excuse to launch an invasion, which Moscow denies.
"It's already clear now ... that fundamental Russian concerns were ignored," Putin said at a news conference with the visiting prime minister of Hungary, one of several NATO leaders trying to intercede with him as the crisis has intensified....
The Carillo Case is about interstate traffiking of firearm modifications.
These cases are about a few things, like an adverse element in the USA military, but, also in gun sales and gun sale parts across state lines. Both these men killed police officers with modified weapons facilitated by a West Virginia gun dealer. How does a state stop this malicious activity from other states? Basically, by using Texas vigilante laws.
The federal government should be ending this type of interstate commerce and certainly should end the sale of these modifications and illegal guns internationally. However, the Republicans in the federal authority refuse to do their job and end the conflict of laws between states, in this case, to protect police officers. The Republicans do nothing but obstruct what is the diligent work of other legislators to end such laws that are advantageous to violence.
The Political Right Wing in this country is fomenting hate and providing gaps in interstate laws that faciliate interstate sales of weapons and their modifications.
The politics of violence and anti-government directed sentiment is now pervasive with Republicans and it is disrupting our governance. McConnell likes to brag he can stop Democrats and that is his strength as a majority or minority leader and the basis of his fund raising. That is highly irresponsible and abuse of power. Why isn't he censured for his abuses?
It doesn't matter if Republicans beat back a censure, it matters that the investigation of ethics violations exist and the charges are brought forward. Abuse of power is written all over the US Senate including Rand Paul that insights killers to act. This is ridiculous. Words matter. Votes matter at least for Republicans.

San Francisco - A former Air Force sergeant (click here) plans to change his not guilty plea in the fatal shooting of a federal security officer in Northern California during 2020 protests against police brutality, court records filed Monday showed.
Steven Carrillo, 33, pleaded not guilty in July 2020 in the killing of David Patrick Underwood, who was shot on May 29, 2020, while he stood in a guard shack in front of a federal building in Oakland....
...Prosecutors say Carrillo had ties to the “boogaloo” movement, a concept embraced by a loose network of gun enthusiasts and militia-style extremists. The group started in alt-right culture on the internet with the belief that there is an impending civil war, according to experts.
Authorities accused Carrillo of fatally shooting Underwood from a white van after developing a plot with Robert Alvin Justus Jr., of Millbrae. The pair is accused of driving to Oakland and taking advantage of the distraction afforded by protesters marching through the city’s downtown. Justus drove the van, authorities said....
The Kangaroo Courts
That is the way the Supreme Court is treating the state courts. There was a decision in North Carolina by its Supreme Court (click here) that the redistricting by the legislature is gerrymandered and unconstitutional. It will be appealed and the state decision overturned. The Robert's Court is leaning into the legislature as the quintessential answer to more and more of it's rulings. We are seeing it with abortion and now redistricting. The North Carolina decison, if overturned, will begin to scream of politics rather than the USA Constitution.
If there is a leaning to the political right, it will be all that more obvious that a conservative Supreme Court with it's current members compromises the country, in that, States Rights will overturn many decisions and cause disharmony in enforcing laws. The Texas vigilante law will begin to show up more and more and in more areas of law. The Texas vigilante law prevents a citizen from MIGRATING to other states to receive services illegl in Texas. That is not a United States of America and criminalizes citizens living productive lives that otherwise would never have legal problems.
The Robert's Court is becoming a governing problem.

Washington - The Supreme Court on Monday (click here) reinstated an Alabama congressional map that a lower court had said diluted the power of Black voters, suggesting that the court was poised to become more skeptical of challenges to voting maps based on claims of race discrimination.
The vote was 5 to 4, with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. joining the court’s three liberal members in dissent.
The Supreme Court’s brief order, which included no reasoning, was provisional, staying a lower court’s decision while the case moves forward. The justices said they would hear Alabama’s appeal of the lower court’s ruling, but they did not say when....
