I had a family member who suspected allergy/hay fever problems or perhaps a mild cold. Thought they needed a Covid test. I told them no, don't get one and that I would not be getting Covid test for no reason, ever. I've had allergies my whole life and I can tell allergies from the cold.

Don't listen to me of course and go have a test done. Now despite no test results yet because they have "symptoms" they have been told to quarantine, can't go to work, and got a call from the health department to provide a bunch of information. If the test comes back negative they still are "required" to do these things.

I'd probably just totally ignore the rules except perhaps the working from home part, except I already work from home. I do think if I ever feel the need to get a test I'm going to suddenly become an "undocumented immigrant" with no ID.
