Air Force ends rapid COVID-19 testing at Patriot Express airport locations in US

It was time, Charlie...

Thank you my friend Lt Col Charlie Brown for making us aware that the USAF has ended rapid COVID-19 Testing 'will be discontinued from July 15 for Patriot Express flights out of Baltimore/Washington and Seattle-Tacoma international airports, the Air Mobility Command said.
The Patriot Express, also called the Rotator or Cat B, is the Pentagon’s charter flight system used by service members and their families for official international travel. Thousands of people annually use the flights to arrive at their new overseas assignments or return to the United States.'

The downside is that "Passengers traveling through U.S. airports must still obtain and present proof of their negative COVID-19 test, vaccination, waiver or recovery before travel, as required by their international destination, according to U.S. military guidance."

Obviously this is a risk assessment. Since the delta variant is increasing and a number of fully vaccinated folks have been infected with COVID-19 long after being vaccinated, I won't be surprised if some come down with COVID.
