All through this, I've refused to be tested. (The only time I got tested was when I needed surgery for something and was required to get a test--it was negative.)
If I'm sick now, I won't get tested. I refuse to contribute to the Covid testing Borg as long as the test itself is geared for false positives and, more importantly, as long as the number of cases continue to be used by politicians to take away our freedoms.
It’s crazy, though. I live in Southern California, and the number of tests reported in our county every day is in the thousands. Meanwhile, hospital and ICU cases have remained steady or decreased over the past matter of months.
My husband and I are both Covid-recovered but because we're unvaccinated we must be tested once a week to visit his 95 year old mother (also unvaccinated) in the nursing home. It's pretty much the only testing and masking I'll tolerate since we couldn't see her for a year. Meanwhile, the vaxxed visitors get to waltz right in even though they can still contract and transmit the damn virus. Defies logic!
Hell's bells!! Our county just announced a new mask mandate starting Monday. Cuz, ya know, it's an emergency, so let's wait 3 days. Mild, cold-like symptoms and no deaths in around 60 countries is really scary so mask up, people. FFS!! Enough!

Yes! That is the strategy I have adopted as well.
