If the omicron strain is more flu like than delta.....with less need for hospitalization and less incidences of death....why the "seemingly" panic to get tested?

The demand during the regular covid strain and then the delta strain during 2021 did not seem to result in such demand?!
The working population have to be tested if they have have symptoms in order to return to work. Or if they are looking for a reason to not be at work 🤷🏼*♀️ But there are folks who have to get tested because they are symptomatic. Albeit, currently there are other viruses going around unrelated to covid that mimics covid symptoms and sadly this is causing the long lines as well. It’s also causing a lot of difficulty in getting to see a doctor for something that is not covid but just sounds like covid.
