Yes, PCR test before our son was born and I had an antibody test last week, both were negative.
P.S. There is no test for COVID-19, the tests you are referring to are for the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The testing stat is a bit of a problem depending on how one applies it. There is a lot if "duplicate" testing going on, valid though, not complaining but one can't really use the figure of test cases vs population, unless one brings some distinct or uniqueness to it. That also makes no sense though as folks can test negative multiple times and positive once.

Yes. Had to as the doctor saw every illness as "You have signs of Covid".
Told him to look at my file as every year I get the flu.
But I went to get the test done.
When his office phoned the next day she told me she has good news. Told her let me guess "Covid negative".

Wife and I both (at different times from different testing stations) had PCR's with samples takes from the throat via the mouth. Useless if you ask me. Both our tests came back negative though we were vrot sick for two weeks.

Yip, PCR test up the nose for 5 days in a row. We used the Abbot Panibo AG kit. The production company pays for the testing.
Have another production next week over 4 days, so my nose will be raped each day again. Back of my nose is still sensitive.

Had a PCR test last year April when a work colleague tested positive and I was in contact with them. Was absolutely horrible. Hope I never have to do it again.

Zero tests across a family of 4 and an in-house staff member.
I am in my late 50s so always a little concerned.
Had mild symptoms a few times that went away fast.
Worst was a tight chest for a few days.
I took ENOs - 3 burps and a fart later and my "COVID" was cured. Who knew?

This. Haven't gone back since.
Do you always go to the doctor for flu?

That is because a positive test isn't enough for a diagnosis of the kung flu.
You need to be showing symptoms of it, and have a positive test.

Though on a lighter note, my wife and I played this game when we were trying for a baby. You can pretty much pick any symptom possible and there will be an article on the internet saying it is a sign of pregnancy.

For the antibiotics yes and the 3 day sick note. But the bigger issue is Foxair.
Had Asthma as a kid and usually comes back when I have a certain bug. Fox air relieves it a bit.
Even be it that I took Tuesday off as not feeling well and back on a Wednesday, I have that note that says I was not faking ****.

I had the same experience with my condition below.
Even after having a tight chest, coughing for 3 weeks, a covid test in week two and an x-ray which clearly suggested something was wrong, I still was sent for another test and then left a voicemail by the doc saying that he is glad the result is negative.
That's it...
