How many times have you been tested for the Corona virus
How many times have you been tested for the Corona virus
It dawned upon me today that I am one of the few that have never been tested for the corona virus.
Living far away from any major city in Norway and only interacting with less than 20 people a month I had a conversation with ten of those today. It seems that most of them had been tested many times.
Am I alone? Are there any of You out there that has yet to be tested once?

Re: How many times have you been tested for the Corona virus
PCR testing, etc?
As an average, about two per week, for over a year.
Going to Europe from UK, going to the UK from Europe. If staying in Denmark, an extra test if our recent one was more than 72hrs and we wanted to eat in civilised comfort.
Travelling to Europe from Asia could see me have up to 5 tests in a 7 day period, as not all would carry the documentation to enable further travel.
All for the joy of going to work.

Average 2 per week for over a year? (104 tests- wow!)
Its about 15 over the last year for me. Every time it still hurts like a bastard.

I had my first test courtesy of the VN government in July, followed by 6 more in the course of 6 weeks (although 2 were conducted in one 6-day period...). Since Saigon's lockdown was ended in October, I've done a quick test once a week as required by work.

Re: How many times have you been tested for the Corona virus
Tested 3 times, total.
First test when travelling across different states. NEGATIVE. Rapid test.
Second one because we went to see The Messiah symphony for Christmas, as they required it without a vaccine passport. NEGATIVE. Rapid test.
Third time just recently because I had a sore throat. POSITIVE. Rapid/PCR test. Actually, the rapid test was negative, but the PCR test was positive.
Was glad I managed to lose about 15 pounds before it finally got me (especially being unvaccinated), as that's one of the largest factors on how hard it hits you.
Wasn't fun, but I've had flus worse than Covid. All I needed was Tylenol.

Never tested
Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

Never tested, but would be interesting to test for antibodies.

Three jabs & 2 tests so far. I have a feeling that more of both will be coming soon.
Re: How many times have you been tested for the Corona virus
A quick count in my head...I have had appx. 40x PCR tests, and about half a dozen ART tests. Due to regular international travel and requirements at my place of work. Nowhere near as many as Freightdog, thats a shitload of tests!
