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?!
BECAUSE those younger than 5 cannot be vaccinated. Uncommonly high number of children are being hospitalized due to COVID! If you HAVE cold or allergy symptoms and may be around young children, you need to get tested for their safety.
