With the easing of mask mandates and other COVID regulations, a lot of the world has resumed some semblance of pre-pandemic normalcy. Though not everyone is ready to move on, such as Dara Kass, MD who is still COVID testing on the regular.
It’s gotten to the point where I am rapid testing myself for COVID 2-3x/week because I like to see people and most of my gatherings involve food or drink.
How often are you testing?

Based on the ratio of snarky responses, that’s a bit excessive under present conditions, Dar.
I test at every meal which includes my bedtime snack. I made one of my kids move out so we could store the tests needed for the next year in his bedroom. I also hired security to ensure that no one steps foot on my property. I’m convinced the mailman wants to be a super-spreader.

I test 48 times a day. I test neighbor kids if they come into my yard. I make all guests in my house test every time they come through the front door. I test all of my major appliances. I test my IPhone. I test all UPS, USPS, FedEx and Amazon delivery drivers. I test insects.

Not even the pets are safe in the mockery zone – tests for everyone and everything, all of the time!
Because I, too, am a good person, I test my dog Walter daily. You ever tried wrestling a wiener dog to the ground (granted it’s not far) to shove a cotton swab up his snout? Let me tell you, it’s not fun. He’s pissed about it & runs away from me, but I feel good about myself. ☺️

If you are suffering from long panic due to the fear-porn distributed by the media, et al., it is nice to know testing requirements still linger in some situations.
only when entering a hospital for a medical procedure of leaving the country. Just stay under your bed until Fauci tells you it's safe pic.twitter.com/Eb5QkezqkR

Irrational paranoia should continue to be encouraged. An abundance of social virtue kits must continue to be supplied on demand, to be covered by taxpayers, naturally.
I actually think everyone should be have access to a free adequate supply of rapid tests and be doing this during surges.

At this point, it is getting difficult to discern parody takes on the entirely tired topic of COVID fears and debatable measures of prevention.
Only 2-3 times per week? In my family we call such people “superspreaders.”

Pretty much on the same schedule you are. I had a sniffle last week and tested negative five times, even though we are masked everywhere. Covid just ripped through my son's baseball team but he remains uninfected. Yay masks!

At least continuous snot swabs and hardcore commitment to mask use are current choices (poor only kid on the team standing outside with a useless piece of paper strapped to his face who gets mom’s choice). Brace yourselves for another season of radical fear porn and excessive government oversight, clearly, some folks are quadruple-vaxxed, double-masked, and still waiting to tell everyone they told you so.
