hoping we'll have achieved herd immunity It's mostly a risk / reward calculation at this point. By my count I've had three illnesses which have symptoms that at least overlap covid. I only got tested once, when I returned to the USA from a trip. There never seems to be a choice of action that I would take based on a test result so what's the use of the test. If I suspect I may be sick or exposed I avoid people. I can easily put off grocery shopping for a month if I have to (I have lots of pantry staples and a garden). My calculations show that the vaccine has a better risk/reward ratio than just hoping I don't encounter the virus.
