This logic is a bit backwards, isn't it?
I mean, if you're dying from COVID symptoms, then why bother? It's pretty obvious at that point.
But if you're mildly sick and therefore CONTAGIOUS, a test to confirm COVID is a pretty reasonable thing to do so that you know to stay away from those who are elderly, immunocompromised and/or unvaccinated.
Just because you were lucky enough to suffer only mild symptoms (perhaps because you were vaxxed, or maybe you're just very healthy otherwise) the person YOU INFECT may not be so lucky.
I don't know what's happened to common sense in this country. Ignorance is indeed bliss.
