Well, I’ve got it !

There's no benefit to knowing, other than pacified curiosity or perhaps relief as you now know you're in the clear. Plenty of downside. If you test positive, you may have your income taken away for 3-30 days depending on the company. Your immediate family and anyone you were in contact with may also lose up to a month of income if it's discovered they were cavorting with you at any time in the previous 30 days.

It's even worse in the UK. Police are shaking down non-essential people and inspecting their packages for "non-essential" items, questioning them why they had the gall to leave their homes.

I’m retired, nobody is taking my income. My wife will be cleared several days before she has to go back to work, so no problem there. I can see where some folks might want that kept secret, but I’ve no reason to either hide it or talk about it.

As for what the UK does, in Texas I’m about as far from there as one can get, both in distance and philosophy. Our governor doesn’t think like that. ;)
 
I would want to know. I would hate to be around someone and them catch it from me. If I knew - then the people I had been around could be contacted and they could take precautions not to infect someone else
 
I know some people that were booted from work for 5 days and couldn't do their job from home. It was unpaid, and they had to take PTO or sick time if they wanted to avoid a gap in pay. No idea if that was legal or not. Lots of unprecedented actions happening to people. I wouldn't plan on having rights or any legal precedent trumping "the greater good" defense of the action taken against you.

I know others who had 14 days mandatory stay home, but could also work from home. Others that had to quarantine and then test negative 7 days after the end of symptoms when the hospitals and clinics were not testing to confirm you're no longer positive.

I know some kids that were sent home for 21 days from school because they were "exposed" to someone that later tested positive.

For some reason I was thinking you were a younger guy. Lol.
 
Most of this spread is due to the hard working, conjugate living lifestyle of the Hispanics among us. My wife is a doctor and most (at many times, all) of her covid patients were Hispanic.
I love my Hispanic friends and employees, because they are mostly fearless, hardworking and indefatigable.
I’ve been around them pretty much every day and have watched the spread through that community. It’s sad, but also encouraging because they don’t quit. Unlike us. We fold like farmers hand in a euchre tourney.

I have no problem getting tested and knowing. This thing is too unpredictable of how it affects people. I've got older parents, Pastors wife in remission from breast cancer, and a nephew just had a baby that spent the 1st week of her life in ICU. That's just the ones I know about. I would hate to be the one that introduced it to them and it took them out.
