I did my first at-home test Monday evening, after returning from a trip. Came up negative. I self-reported and that was that.
Frankly, if it comes up positive, I’m going to report that too, regardless of symptoms. If I have symptoms, I’ll kick into the next phase and call an actual doctor but if asymptomatic, I’ll just watch and take my (at least) 5 days off. I have over 1400 hours of sick leave saved up.
There is word that these self-tests are not going to be acceptable in the future, after which I will make my next move, whether it’s to seek another religious accommodation or just retire - or both. I’m accepting that I can test myself without involving anyone else, but if they want me to get a test done outside of the home, then that isn’t going to happen.
:: seek another religious accommodation ::
That is a stickler there and I will never seek an RA simply because by requesting one, you are allowing a violation of your 1st Amendment right to free exercise of your religion.
By what objective standard of [Constitutional] authority does one “judge” another’s religious belief?
If that standard is claimed by the government, they establish themselves as the Religion of all religions (arbiter).
Thereby establishing the government \itself\ as a religion (takes one to know one, right?).
