So you think it's fair for someone to spend 2.5% of their income on a flu test when they have good reason to believe they may have COVID-19?

Do you mean monthly or annual?

If monthly, the answer is still no, but only because testing for covid is a significant public good.

Otherwise, yes, sure?

It is an unpredictable, low probability event, with not so big an impact (the payment, I mean, not covid)
