My guess is that this is an attempt to dispose of the remaining stockpile of tests that raised a hue and cry when the government
announced in February that they planned to destroy them (about $500M worth). As a result of the outcry, the
free distribution portal to individuals stayed open another month, closing mid-March.
I'll note that the last time I ordered from the government, instead of the usual set of two two-packs, I got a single
box of 5 tests, with an expiration date in July. And the expiration dates seem to be "real" nowadays, as
opposed to the overly conservative ones from earlier batches.
But it certainly looks like the sky's the limit for ordering--the form mentioned in the article Judy referenced
asks if the warehouse for delivery can accept 53-foot trailers!
