The Biden Administration will be distributing 500 million rapid at-home COVID tests for free.
We don't want to be hermits, so we'll want to be using more tests than that to continue gathering safely during the winter wave. This sends an important signal about how to do so.

The Biden Administration previously announced that insurers will be required to reimburse for rapid at-home tests people buy. While cumbersome, that will help make tests more affordable for people, supplementing the distribution of 500 million free tests.
Unfortunately, right now, in the lead-up to the holidays, rapid tests are sold out in many stores and the cost is out of reach for many.
I just got 2 at-home COVID tests for a gathering with friends, benefiting from multiple layers of privilege:
A computer to search for supply.
A job with flexibility to go while supply lasts.
The ability to drive to a pharmacy that had supply.
The resources to afford them.
