I think there's an invisible demographic of people, especially among those whose work conditions are more privileged, who have been taking reasonable precautions but really are just carrying on with life, just with extra steps especially to avoid transmission to more vulnerable.

If you have had contact with someone who has COVID-19 you are at higher risk of becoming infected yourself and are strongly advised to take daily LFDs for 7 days. (Only applies if you are fully vaccinated or under 18, otherwise you must self isolate).

What does this indicate, in your view, about the utility of requiring PCR tests 72h before a flight? Better to do rapid tests right before boarding? Are airlines changing their norms?

Saw that... couldn't help think about the cost (for the U.S.). $50 worth of tests. Doesn't seem like the average person (me) can afford that for anything but special circumstances. NOT daily life.

I think a key detail is also this: He didn’t test positive until the day AFTER he had started to develop symptoms, meaning he was likely contagious about 2 days before the first + test. Definitely test often, but stay home with any suspected exposure (as the OP did).
