No, I’m not testing unless I have symptoms.

Maybe you miss the bigger point. It’s knowing that you are in a store, restaurant, etc. where you know everyone is negative that is the best part of testing. Knowing that you won’t inadvertently bring it home to a loved one.

And you didn’t answer if you live in a high risk state. It’s easy to say you would casually go out or take out an elderly loved one if there is basically no risk. But states with a lot of infections need testing everywhere in order to safely open up.

I take reasonable precautions.

I don’t go into packed places and I didn’t before this virus. A few years back, I started carrying wipes and sanitizer with me.

I could feel soooo good, going to eat at a restaurant full of people who have tested negative, and then leave to go home, and we are wiped out in a car wreck.

There are no promises on length of life, and so I prefer to live what I have (this moment) to the fullest, and how I like it. Maximum freedom is what I love better than any pretense of security.
