frogjerk:By testing for COVID you are only asking for totalitarianism.
I have taken the covid home test 5 times. One time I was positive with covid but not real sick, a minor flu. After testing I threw the results in the trash. I got thw test kits from my local health dept. They did not know my name or ask. I take care of my aging parents who live a few blocks away. Do I really want to give them covid?
Before you say I should not be going to see them if I am sick it does not work that way. I am their only caretaker. Yes I did not see them while I had covid until a negative test came up but I have taken care of them while sick myself in the past.
I am not sure how testing myself leads to totalitarism.
I should clarify my comment - By testing for COVID (not at home) you are only asking for totalitarianism.

What is the difference with you taking care of them in the past when you were sick vs now if you have COVID and are sick? The current strains of COVID are very mild and the real debate is how "dangerous" the original strains of COVID were when all of the absolute stupid "treatments" (venting and preventing treatment of symptoms with other offlabel medication) and preventative methods taken like lockdowns, quarantining the healthy, not allowing the sick to go outside in the sun and the like are really responsible for the large amount of deaths.
