So many people I know were tested- and when I asked if they were feeling ill they said "no"- they just "wanted to know they didn't have it".... TOO weird.

Hence greater number of “cases” in countries were this was/is practiced than in countries where it is not, like Japan.

35- works in behavioral health and thankfully chose to not be vaccinated. To keep her job she "has to" do this. Send results to HR. It's all so unnecessary....but she loves her work and is good with the kids she works with, so this is her sacrifice. Oh, mask also...the only ones who have been sick with covid at her work site were...you guessed it....had the shot!

my one employee last year had an allergy attack (followed by a panic attack) and had to run off and be tested (my sister says to me 'ohmygawd, give that girl a benadryl!')...result was 5 days at home while i paid her and 'gee, what's that, no covid?'

she decided grad school was more to her liking than actually working for a living...ironically enough, she was my TA this semester. i think she's in love with her mask. it's like a magic shield or something.
