If you think you have it call your doctor and let them make the call on what you should do, not some clown on a car forum whose advice might get you dead.
And if I spelled something wrong or use improper grammar.....TOO F'n BAD......get over it smart donkey (or is that a mule).

Try to relax man. Maybe you need to see your doctor.
People were advising him to go get tested for being mildly symptomatic, and I was agreeing with him that there is no sense in getting tested if everyone is having mild symptoms and is quarantining at home anyways. Like he said:

I spend the money to get tested and what changes?
We are at home and all getting better

I was saying to save his money, as there is no need to get tested in his situation, and that he was right about that; it won’t make a difference.
Then I spoke generally about the typical types of concerning symptoms that would require an ER visit.
Contact tracing is nice, but definitely not necessary, as this thing is too prevalent and people too relaxed for contact tracing to matter much. Cases aren’t the most relevant metric that is being used to determine policies for the US at this time. Better to avoid going outside and contacting others if it can be avoided. If testing can be done via drive-up and free/cheap then go for it. If it is the difference of going back to work or not then go for it. If not then no need to go out when sick unless someone is experiencing more significant symptoms than mild, cold-like symptoms.
