The VAST majority of people who have/had covid have no idea they have/had it. For 3 years it seems we were all trying to ignore this one simple fact. People still even joke about, "not knowing how I've avoided COVID this long". We have ALL "had COVID" multiple times. Testing at all is at best security theater but is literally a fools errand. COVID testing has not and will not ever save a single life.
Back in 2020, the US Navy published a study that told us everything we needed to know about covid: They found that over 90% of sailors who tested positive were asymptomatic. With only 1% testing positive in random checks, a mere 10% of those showed ANY symptoms and none had any major complications.
It's clear now that the mass hysteria was baseless. We had the facts, but it seems some people just wanted a reason to freak out for a couple years.
