I’ve haven’t had any tests. I’ve had 2-3 colds but we don’t get out much so never felt the need to get tested.

None, but I had it when the rest of my family had it. Lost my sense of taste and smell so I figured there was no reason to.

Me: once, positive because my wife was nice enough to share
Kid: once, negative. Never again if I can help it. Had symptoms when wife did so we assume he was positive.
Wife: 4 or 5 times. Required negative test to return to work so all positive except last one.

Once. Rapid test. Mid Nov. Positive.
Felt like a mid level cold. Didn't infect anyone so that was good.
Still missing 75% of my taste and smell.

Any guesses on how many times people in athletics and AD personnel have been tested? Can’t imagine.

My uncle is going on month 5 of reduced taste and smell and he's a restaurant executive...

Dang.
I'm told it could be a long time before I fully regain it. Consider myself lucky if that's the biggest impact. Of course nobody knows the long term consequences. Maybe total organ failure and death in 5 years... 1 week before Cyclones win national FB title. THAT would be my luck.

I've actually lost count of many times I've been tested, but I think I may have had my 15th test this morning.

All through and for work; I work in the quasi-health care field at a non-profit with individuals who are inherently an at-risk population. The swab test that felt like your brain was being tickled is by far and away the worst. Right now I'm getting swab tests that just get your tongue, gums, and the roof of your mouth. Exponentially a better method than what was being done last spring.
