Does anyone test for Covid anymore?

I have just had Covid again for the third time. I know it was Covid because as soon as I started to have symptoms I tested. The first test was negative but the second a day later was positive. I then stayed at home until I was clear.

I keep hearing about friends and acquaintances saying they have had really bad colds etc but never a thought of isolating or testing.

I had to miss a few events I was really looking forward to. How can I avoid getting it again if everyone just goes out and about without testing?

Sorry to sound such a grouch but it would seem Covid isn’t going away despite having all the injections.

I’ve just tested today. We are due to meet friends this weekend and one of them has a compromised immune system.

Also MiL in a care home, wouldn’t want to infect the old dears.

I've never ever taken a test or had a covid jab. If I had a cold I'd keep away from people anyway

Yes, I think most of us would with any virus or other contagious disease. It’s just common sense and courtesy! X

I agree Cossy - I think testing still has a place. It's a way of keeping other, more vulnerable, people safe ftom us.

Covid is still mutating and we all have our own range of symptoms - I don't want to be the one to infect them with something I thought was pretty mild - it may not be for them.
