Do the test kits have an expiration?
That I don't know. I have to travel multiple times over the next two months (new job) so I'll use these 4 quickly.
Keep in mind, these new kits will not work for international travel including returning to the US. The only home kits that work for that require and include a telemedicine appointment to confirm the results. They are quite a bit more expensive (about $35 a piece).
The free ones also aren't likely to work for getting into a venue for a concert, event, etc.
Nope.
These are primarily for at home testing to help reduce the spread.

Right. I'm using these for my own sense of security. All of my travel is domestic.

Gotcha. Pretty crazy we are almost 2 years in and we're just now getting access to free, convenient testing.

USA is still great but Scandanavia, Germany and the Netherlands all seem very appealing.
Geography wise USA kicks their asses though and is more culturally diverse.
I think I was all in on USA number 1 until 2016.

I would still choose the USA over most, but don't enjoy people being stubborn about its weaknesses and masking it as Patriotism.

Lol.
My parents in Mich, not to be confused with Mich, are pretty much the same way.
“Yeah we’ve been to the Bahamas it was awesome! We poked around this touristy commercial area for a couple hours, good selection of t shirts, but the Jimmy Johns there just wasn’t as tasty as the Schlotzky’s we had in Jamaica.”

Mich, hypothetical situation, say it's 2018, before COVID, and either
A: you get a paid 3 week vacation for 2 to one of these 5 countries ( India, Japan, Morocco, France, Argentina ) with all room/board/travel costs covered for the 3 weeks.
or
B: you get a paid 3 week vacation plus 2,500 bucks but you can't leave MICH.
Which would you choose?
