We (in the larger sense) should find out if we have this bug, even if we don't have symptoms, in order to protect those around us. It isn't about whether *I* feel sick, it's about whether I might be contagious and make someone else sick. While I have no symptoms and feel fine, the person I infect may not be as fortunate.

And yes, of course, there is little need to get tested if you have had no known exposure to the virus.
