    Just curious. I've had my brain stabbed twice. Both were negative.

    You need not reveal whether you tested positive or negative if you don't want to.

    I think I've posted on this already, but I've been tested once. Wasn't a full lobotomy, but a thorough cleaning of my nostrils. I tested negative, but it was probably the most stressful five days I went through since the first three weeks of the shutdown in the Bay Area.

    I got tested at the end of June just because. I didn't have any symptoms and working from home, I was not around people except for an occasional grocery run.

    The test wasn't as bad as I expected, a little tickle when they jammed the Q-Tip up my nose. It took about 5 days for the result, which came back negative, as I expected.

    I increasingly believe I had it the first week of January after a party at Medieval Times the week before.

    Won't know for sure until I get a serology test.

    I've been going to doctors' offices an average of probably once a week since March, and never been formally tested. They run down their 10-item checklist, then do a temperature scan and blood oxygen check, and if any of those are seriously off, then you get the test.
    So far, I haven't set off any warning bells.

    Three times.

    Tried to make it four but I'm on the road in Salt Lake City and there are no rapid result tests available w/o a 3-4 day wait for an appointment.

    Maybe I'll sneak onto the Utah football team.

    I work for an SEC school and there is free testing for all asymptomatic students, faculty & staff. I've done it twice, once in July just to see, and once a month later after I'd had a bad 12-hour bug or something a few days before, just to be sure. Negative both times.

    Have not been tested.

    Still wonder about the weird “flu” or “cold” that I had at the end of January.

    My volleyball club had a 17 year old test positive (he tested because he had a sore throat and a he also plays soccer and had a high school teammate test positive). So I made everyone get tested. I went in on Thursday afternoon and got the result tonight (Negative!). So far no more positives from the kids or coaches from the club.

    Yes. Had surgery on 9/11. Had to test negative or the surgery was off. Came through with flying colors, BTW.
