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?!
I spoke with my daughter yesterday, both her, her husband and my 7-year-old grandson
tested positive even though they have all been vaccinated. My daughter and husband both work from home, but school just started, and she is keeping him home, so he does not infect any other children. I think the panic is ridiculous, but it you are fully vaccinated, and you feel like you have flu, and you can get test why not.
