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.

Staying away from the elderly and immunocompromised is a good idea when you are sick with anything, no?

Exactly. Knowing it’s covid shouldn’t change anything.

Also, the unvaxed have largely chosen that for themselves so it’s not really everyone else’s problem. Elderly and immounocompromised should be in N95 anywhere in public.

Besides masks don't work.

Give it a rest. Horse is long ded.

Masks are pointless

SO many studies available on that now

Your comment is as such, pointless. Why should a select group of society yield to that demand?

You're probably one of those all on board with forcing injections into peoples bodies at the point of a sword aren't you?

Just stay home, that's a good idea for any contagious illness. If you really need to go somewhere and be around people, then you should get a covid test... it is dangerous for some people. I mostly blew off the covid hysteria, but when we actually got it, I was pretty strict with the kids about staying home and getting tested before venturing out again.
