So, are you getting tested?

No need here.
My foundation resumed in-person meetings that include patients in groups up to several hundred.
Our protocol requires everyone to test daily with a rapid antigen test.
In each of our live events we’ve caught someone covid positive who didn’t know it and prevented exposure of really vulnerable people.
My niece did the same thing at her baby shower in May and caught a covid positive person too.

Yes, I will absolutely be tested.
Unrelated, but yeah, I might also check to see if I have COVID-19.

I wouldn't sweat it. Compare how each of us is going to spend the next 72 hours and then ask who the real loser is here.

I've really, really thought about it.

The outgoing Dr. Anthony Fauci recommends that everyone get tested before getting together on Thanksgiving.
Will you comply?

Nope, the kids are all vaccinated now too, as are the older parents-in-law we will be hanging out with. I do appreciate Fauci's service to our country over the last few decades and, in particular, his tireless efforts in helping to get past the pandemic despite the political landmines he had to navigate around.

Y'all are assuming that:
- Everybody testing is proficient in collecting the testing sample.
- Everybody testing is proficient in performing the test. Be surprised how many ain't.
- You're assuming that the test will detect all strains of COVID.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving!

@Jolly exactly. When D3 started getting symptomatic, about a month ago, she didn't trust herself to do the test. She went to a clinic and tested positive. As I told her, a false negative might mean you still have it, so don't rely on it. A positive test is a POSITIVE test.
-
But on the other hand, a false negative is really no worse than not testing at all. Really no downside to testing. It will catch some people who are positive, even if only a small amount.
(Having said that, I am among large gatherings and do not test any more)
