Pro's/con's: I suppose the issue is on everyone's mind & it would comfort you to know, but there are some other things to think about.I have no idea about the accuracy & speed of testing in your country but in the USA there are some that are tested 3X before the test turns positive. Going where they test would likely expose you both. Kids seem to do much better than the old & as many as 50% never have symptoms
