Another set of at-home COVID tests

I got an email from Medicare that every US household can get another set of free at-home COVID tests (8 tests). Here’s the link:

Maybe they think that if the link is big enough it won’t fit in your URL bar since the average Joe doesn’t have a government issued supersized URL bar, lol

(I’m also gonna guess either someone named Musk or Thiel sold 'em a piece of hardware to support that assumption too, lol)

P.s.yes I know neither of them sell computer hardware…

Once I clicked your link, I got this URL, which can also get direct to same site. (added space to make it not be a link.)

Often such links are put in newsletters in order to track whether people click the links.
