Have you had a Covid test?

I have not, nor has DS. DH has had a few that were required by NCAA rules, not because of any known exposures. We've all be very lucky.

We have vaccine passport regulations at many public places. Negative test not good enough for our PHO because she insists testing people who are asymptomatic is a waste. She claims they aren't accurate enough to bother with using. 

Yes, I'm tested weekly at my job - all faculty, staff, and students are tested every week. We had many cases last year, but not this year. DS's school has had multiple positive cases each week in his school - some vaccinated people, some not (those are all under 12 - the mandate for 5-12 doesn't kick in until January).

Recent research by University College London - a leading research unit in the UK say they are useful. When the researchers used a new formula for calculating the rapid test's accuracy, they found LFTs were more than 80% effective at detecting any level of Covid-19 infection and likely to be more than 90% effective at detecting who is most infectious when they use the test. 80% isn't IMO a waste! If one can detect the virus in the usual time  when people are infected but before someone shows any symptoms, that has to be a benefit in breaking that chain of transmission.
Most viruses have an incubation period before one shows symptoms. For Covid  it is estimated to last between 1 and 14 days, and the average time to develop symptoms is 5 to 6 days; 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of infection.

In addition to that around one in three people who have Covid-19 never show any symptoms.

I have mandatory weekly testing at school on Thursdays. Before it became mandatory, I also tested weekly on Tuesdays.

If we have a positive case (we had one yesterday), I test the day after at one of our sites. I will test Monday.

I test like this because I have contact with every child in my school. We require masks of everyone indoors, but kids aren't always reliable maskers indoors and totally get in each others' faces outside when they're unmasked.

Yes. April 2020. 

I used to work at Tim Hortons (coffee shop, fast food restaurant). Middle of March was our school's March Break. No one really knew much of what was going on yet. People come out like it was a regular March Break. Our Headoffice was telling store owners to make sure no one sick was working. My last day of work was that Friday. Someone was working hacking up a storm. And she was put on deli station. Um WTF. Saturday I got a nasty cold. I had to call in sick. I talked to my doctor when it would not go away. He wanted me tested for COVID. Beginning of April I was tested. Negative thank goodness. Talked to my doctor about my work conditions. No masks yet at work and the handwashing was a joke. Every 30 minutes we were suppose to wash our hands and sign some sheet to prove we did. Too busy. Supervisiors said to fake it.   It's a small store. Could not distance from anyone. Nothing was changed so we could. I'm diabetic. Doctor wrote me a note and I took a leave of absence. 

I'm double vaxxed now and working at No Frills (grocery store) instead. Decided to not go back because apparently nothing really has changed except they wear masks. Ex co worker of mine told me they still allow sick people to work.  At No Frills I get a cash area all to myself and I have plexiglass up. Wear my mask. I feel more safe there.

Nope, none of us have been tested so far.
