I never said that constant testing was practical. And "Every time we go out" isn't a known.
But sometimes folks tell you they caught it - folks in the office, friends, family - hence, the "Know you've been exposed" criteria. Then it is prudent to test. These are the only times that I've personally tested throughout the pandemic - but I'm in Norway, so I have probably encountered different sorts of restrictions than a lot of other readers.
And honestly: The real reason it isn't as prudent is because the virus isn't the beast it once was. Yes, it can still make you really sick, but it is much rarer than it once was.
- nradov 3y agoThat's not a meaningful distinction. Regardless of whether you "know" you've been exposed, unless you've been living as a hermit you can safely assume that you have been exposed recently.
