Reply To: Is there any point testing if I have no symptoms?

Your friend has it backwards. A large share of these infections produce no symptoms at all, which is exactly why screening programmes exist. If symptoms were reliable there would be no need to screen anyone.

Half the threads on this forum start with someone who felt completely fine and tested positive on a routine screen.
