Who or what is requiring a home-based test result?
I have some relatives going for a Christmas visit if 3 days to a Doctor and his family.
They were requested to get a .Covid test before they got on the plane and then another as soon as they arrived from a 1.5 hour flight. BOTH RELATIVES ARE vaccinated and Boosted. Both are Young. The people they visiting are vaccinated and Boosted. All are extreme Leftists.

They mostly don’t feel sick, they are scared. Perhaps they sneezed when they woke up or have minor cold symptoms. I would remind everyone that as of right now —- there is not a single death in the USA of anyone dying from the latest Covid Variant . Not even ONE

The PanicDemic is rampant. Keep in mind that the more Tests they can convince people to take, the more Pamic Numbers they can report and keep the Lockdowns and PANIC continuing.
It’s a massive MoneyMaker for somebody because none of this is FREE. The Taxpayers foot the bill for all of it.
Probably the anti-vaxxer, anti-masker, COVID denier who intentionally comes into the office when they have a cold. Work culture used to be different. Most places I worked unless you were projectiling from both ends or completely bed bound, you got your butt to work and made the office get sick.
Did you read her post?
Everyone in the office is "triple-vaxxed," masked up, tests at minimum 2x a week... and has separate offices.
And you STILL think that they are at risk for COVID?
triple vaccinated
wearing masks
testing 2x a week minimum.
What level of security are you seeking> You are heading to bubble boy territory or Boo Radley territory. Never leave the house ever.
Do you not see the insanity? At all?
Aside from the myth that only an unvaccinated person can pass along the infection. That's a lie. Otherwise why would TRIPLE VACCINATED MASK WEARERS surrounded by TRIPLE VACCINATED MASK WEARERS need to be tested 2x a week?
In the Chicago burbs. I drove over to a testing site during lunch and at least 30 people standing outside and the line isn’t moving. It’s cold and rainy here and sick people (not all are sick I know but some are) have to stand outside for hours? I call a local outpatient clinic that has testing. It tells you to press 2 to speak to a representative. Nobody answers. I call my primary care office. 15 callers ahead. I go online and not finding a home test anywhere.
Why would you ever get tested for this??? It has a 99.9% survival rate
I don't know if it's different in other areas of the country, but there they're 2/$24 at Walgreens but 2/$14 at Walmart. Once they come back in stock, you might check Walmart in your area to see if they're cheaper if you want to have a few around.
Highway robbery, you’re making companies like mine bank with all the testing...no wonder our stock price is higher than ever.
It’s a step that people can take to protect others.
Vaccination can help to keep people out of hospital.
Good masks can reduce the risk of spreading/contracting covid.
The three in combination offer the most amount of protection for everybody.
I think the majority who test do so as a precautionary measure to protect any vulnerable family members/friends before getting together - or before having a gathering of people indoors. Or if they have symptoms that could indicate possible infection.
I can’t think for a second that people would be testing every single time they went to the grocery store or gas station etc.
Those who won’t wear masks or get vaccinated probably aren’t likely to be getting tested anyway.
You realize you will never go back to normal by doing all of this.
That the vaccines don't work well at all for Omicron is no surprise which that's around ~75% of new cases. Oh, and seen the 7-day caseload? Testing is an extra precaution you can take or not take. Some people go around with their normal daily activities even though they know they're positive. Other people haven't left their house for going on two years. Somewhere between those two extremes is what I would recommend and find what works for you.
Larger gatherings typically revolve around putting food into your mouth, difficult to do with a mask.
Omicron also resembles cold symptoms so even if the vaccine doesn’t work, why all of the extra precautions?

It resembles a cold in most people, especially those who are at low risk to begin with. However it’s not the same as a big standard, which does not put children in the hospital like South African health officials were reporting for omicron.
I am so tired and over Covid at this point but a virus does not have the capacity to care what I think. The more barriers in place to prevent transmission, the fewer chances the virus has to mutate further and become something worse than omicron again.
There’s a middle path to getting through this that’s between ‘do nothing’ and ‘hide in your basement’ and I do r know if it’s a failing of the American educational system or just stupidity that so many people believe that life can only be binary instead of nuanced.

The middle path is simple.
If you're sick, stay home. That means, if you have symptoms and feel like crap? Stay home.

Maybe we just disagree on what middle ground means. For me it means testing if we have symptoms but otherwise living normally.
