Just how many times have you been tested for Covid?

Gee, I don’t know. I know I’ve been tested at the hospital (“officially”) at least ten times (back in the days of the pandemic in 2021 they’d give you a test before a dental appointment at the VA), and at least a dozen times with home tests.

I was tested three times. Once against my will when I needed an antiallergy shot at the ER and they swore I had Covid no matter how many times I told them I was having a severe allergic reaction. The other two times I went to the local drive-up pharmacy and got tested there when I was sick. I've never had Covid. And those home tests are useless after the liquid in the little vials dries up. I threw all the ones we had left away.

I never checked for it before. I was sick once though..but the symptoms seemed very much like a cold Another time..I had pink eye which during the first Covid epidemic was a symptom. So none

I have never been tested for it.

I've been tested once but by then it was duh!! Brain fog for sure. I have been dreading winter cause the last few winters we've been so ill. Right now we are just skating along on what is usual for us.

3 times and I tested positive. All 3 times were after going out with the same couple. Hubs only got it the first time being out with them. We tested ourselves with a kit and double checked at the lab. The next two times our kits had expired, so I went to the doctor.

I do not know for sure. Not too many times. I also have had what they call the full respiratory panel at least twice. I usually get told I have nothing but a Or rhinovirus. That is what I get for putting a rhino up my nose.

I have never been tested. I did have Covid in 2021. I didn't need a test because I couldn't smell one thing for 6 months. That's how I knew I had it.

I have never been tested for Covid, I was lucky enough never to be sick.

Working in a school we had to be tested regularly. I’m sure I had it once but tested too late and it was negative. The Mister tested twice and had it both times. One time he only tested as his work colleague had it, he felt absolutely fine, but it was positive. The second time he was really ill with it.

I had Covid in 2022 but there is no regular testing done here unless it is suspected.

I've never been tested for COVID.

I found one of your posts that I missed! How dare I. Lol, anyway I got a ton of Covid tests when they were trying to figure out what was going on with my lungs. It is not a fun experience especially when its already hard to breathe and you feel like curd.

My daughter sent off for some home test,, and we had them on hand when I had covid, so by then they must have been widely available.

I was once when I was in the ER

I've never had a covid test. I am very fortunate not to have ever gotten it or been sick enough for them to think it was covid and needing a test.

I can't remember. We only did home tests, and we had to test ourselves before we joined any group activity, so must have done half a dozen or so I suppose.

Just once when I was admitted to the hospital for DKA since they didn't know what was going on with me in the ER. It was negative. Not sure if I have ever had it or not.

I took a test this past December when Tom was in the hospital. They tested him and said he had it, but didn't give him anything except Musinex. He didn't have any symptoms. I did a home test, but wasn't sick and it came out Negative. Back in 2024 at the ER the nurse TRIED to give me a test and once she got up the one nostril and it hurt, I told her NO! They let it go. Back in 2021 I went to CVS and took a test, but didn't have to swab my brain like they Nurse tried to do. It was negative...I was getting Bronchitis just like a usually do that time of year. So far No Covid.

none. i was vaccinated 3 times, i think.
