Just very curious as to how many times CFers have been tested.

I've not been tested. I'm retired - so no compelling reason for me.

No need to give results unless you want to. More just interested in quantity.

If there are reasons for large numbers such as employment requirement please elaborate.

I’ve been tested 3 times. Each time I felt totally fine, but because of exposure they made me get tested.

Only reason I did was because it was required prior to flying internationally, otherwise haven't had as much as a sniffle in 2020.

Positive for ABs in June but still got tested 3-4 times before traveling (driving) voluntarily as a precaution over the summer.

Same here. We have been able to sharply reduce our contacts and exposure due to living in a rural setting, being retired, and having only the two of us here in the home (no kids).

Just did 15 minutes ago for first time... they finally started pushing free testing for those without symptoms here (no real reason to previously) - and set to see family this weekend so nice piece of mind to have / irregardless of how accurate they are.

I've voluntarily tested 3 times. Once was after traveling. The other times were precautionary because I'm around kids regularly due to coaching.

None. I keep waiting to get a cold and get tested, but I haven't been sick at all this year.

Due to all the social distancing, 2020 has been our healthiest year to date as well.

Last year, I felt guilty working from home so often because it felt like a kid was always sick. This year, while working from home, we've never been healthier.

Zero for me.

Dr. Sigma has only been like twice, actually -- two "scares" when she had more garden variety colds/allergies.

No positives.

Negs twice. One was a couple weeks ago because of close contact and the other was a sweeping test at my employer last spring.
