How many covid tests have you done?

Just wondering whether we are unusual in that neither myself nor DH have had need to do a covid test at all?

DD hasn't done one either as she has been too unwell to return to school, so hasn't had to do the twice weekly tests that secondary pupils are doing.

Is this common, or are we an unusual household?

Trial - 1, voluntary LF twice a week maybe since Jan, can't remember but on-going.

Zero tests so far thankfully.

5 PCR and lateral flow twice weekly since beginning of January this year. I also had an antibody test.
One kid has done 3 PCR
One kids has done 2 PCR plus lateral flows weekly or twice weekly since Jan
DH I think 3 PCR

We have had one positive test each.

7 pcr (6 for long COVID symptoms through zoe app and 1 positive) plus 5 lateral flow (now doing these twice a week). And 3x antibody tests.

I'm doing LFTs twice per week - part of my job involves visiting schools. My husband does daily LFTs on week days - he works for a private company that have paid a small fortune for the tests, but are doing so to protect both staff and clients. Our kids are primary age and we are only testing them if they have symptoms which has been just once.

I've done a few as do twice weekly LFT testing. And have done 3 PCRs, including one positive one.

Dd is at university and has done a handful of LFTs and one PCR.

Dh did his first LFT recently when he visited a hospice to do an emergency will for a client.

I know a number of older adults who haven't done any, and a number of primary school children who haven't either.
