Do you still hear of people taking those barbaric COVID tests? Do you recall.... how they convinced people to ram a stick up their nose? [video]

I took a few test about 2 weeks ago. My wife came home and was sick so we broke out the tests and sure enough she tested positive.

Although her symptoms were unpleasant, they were comparable to the flu and less severe then when she had covid last spring (2022).

She stayed home from Tuesday to Friday. By Saturday she was feeling much better, had no symptoms.

I never tested positive (and never have) and I'm starting to think it doesn't effect me as I've been around 20-30 people with COVID since all this started and have never been sick. (TBH I did feel off for a few days. Like 90%. Just lower energy and felt a little run down but never any coughing or headaches or things like that.)

I get if people don't want to take the tests. As long as If you are sick you stay the fuck home for fucks sake! For most it doesn't matter if its COVID, the flu or a regular cold. Stay home and don't be out in public hacking up a lung and I won't have any problems with you!

Why get tested? That's idiotic. How will the information it will provide change your course of action? You even said it yourself that it does not matter for most.

And I will continue to work and study even in sickness, I have done it before and will do it again.

I took the test because I'm curious to see if I can get the virus. I'm very surprised I have not got it yet. I'm at the point I'm wondering what all they hype is about.

My wife took the test because of her volunteer work at a seniors home. I strongly believe covid is more dangerous then even the flu to people who are 70+ so it makes sense in that context.
