Do normal people not bother testing now?

I would certainly test if I felt unwell but I know some people test if they are going to meet friends or into a social situation, I would not do that now and wouldn’t expect others to do it unless as I said they didn’t feel well.

I'd test if I was ill with covidy symptoms. I wouldn't test with just a sniffle.

I was told today that 'Normal people don't test for covid any more because since February it has been statistically less fatal than flu.'

This was a young friend who had been in a cafe with her child last week, although the child was a bit unwell and may have had covid.
