I probably haven’t tested for Covid since September.
-I tested whenever I passed by testing places without lines (usually not twice in the same day, though). The idea is to try to keep the number at 48 or less (though 72 is usually fine)
-Most swabs are really half ... so I doubt they catch much, but simply getting my code scanned is the main objective
-TMK, PCR tests have never been required in the absolute sense, and many stores/restaurants don't care, but as long as they're easy and free (this part might change on January 1), there's no reason not to get them
