You don't just waltz in and "take possession" of 42,000 kits. You need a forklift for several pallets and a lorry to put them in. There will be fingerprints on the freight depot's forklift and photos of the lorry's tags. This won't take long to track down.

after 2 years, every leader and institutions forgot to revamp and strengthen our medical facilities and infrastructure?

The country's consumer watchdog has received reports of retailers selling tests for about US$22 each.

Nope, some places are selling them for US$70 - this is for 1 test.

I guess Japan is doing a descent job or we are just living in confusing times. I have got two free Antigen tests & a free PCR test in the past 7 days at my workplace bcoz a few cases got identified. I haven't shown an symptoms yet , and those who were directly in contact with the subjects. Maybe Japan is doing a good Job in making these tests available for free to everyone now, but I do wonder if Bosses do have the legal authority to sanction these tests to the unwilling who are healthy. Could this be a power harassment case on the brew?

Another way to look at it is that they will be destroyed. Not everything is about money.

I can't see the reason for being tested.

You either have it or not...

I can't see the reason for being tested. 

You either have it or not..

Firstly so that you know not to infect other people and secondly, if you fall genuinely sick, the hospital knows that you are a covid patient.

I am rather surprised that people are still asking such questions in 2022.

Australia today. Everyone is desperate to get tested. Yes I am sure they would test several times a day if they could. Dissatisfaction with the government for not providing them free so they can do that.. Meanwhile massive price gouging by pharmacies and others capitalizing on COVID while they can. All the big companies made millions in COVID handouts whilst their profits increased anyhow yet they dont have to return it. So I guess the guy either wants to be able to test every day and/or make his own share of COVID profiteering
