seriously...I'm open to being tested, I just don't understand what benefit getting tested would have if neither of us have any symptoms
Lots of people have no symptoms but still have the virus. That is a useful thing to know because then you can quarantine yourself and not spread it around.

I don't know if I will do that test but I do want to be tested for antibodies, which should tell us if we already had the virus (to the extent that such tests are accurate). All three of the adults who live in my house were sick in January. I want to know if we had corona or something else.
