I agree. I feel like many people aren't testing. I had it very mild in June of 2023. I thought it was allergies but tested and sure enough; positive. My fiance thought she had a cold in November of 2023 but decided to test and it was positive. Meanwhile all these people around us have "colds" but aren't actually testing. I somehow escaped it when my fiance had it so I got a booster last month hoping I can escape this wave and help cut the spread.
Since COVID became endemic I stopped testing. What does it matter what I have? When I'm sick, I'm sick. I really don't see how it matters what exactly is causing it.
We must normalize staying home for any illness. Testing for the purpose of having good data for public health is important but that isn't what home covid tests are doing.
Fully agree. My employees have unlimited sicks days. If they're not feeling well, I'd rather they stay home and rest up. We work with schools so spread happens so quick and easily.
