A few months back the "quick" tests were only around 70% accurate so false negatives were also happening. I have been tested myself 3 times as well and can attest to them getting better at doing it, the first time the equipment was different and my nose was sore for a couple days where as the last times the swabs were flexible and much less of a discomfort. I got hurt last year and was barely attempting coming back to the workforce when the virus arrived, during the first week of "craze" in March we were at the hospital because my wife had emergency surgery fue to pregnancy complications which put her on short term. She was at supervisor at the international airport, during the recovery the shut downs begun and everyone layed off; he had already been eating at my emergency savings as neither one was applicacle for unemployment. I applied day after day with no luck, Amazon would give me job interviews and cancel them the same day (this happened 4 times); finally a guy i knew led me to where i am now which is a very small company but has allowed me to keep things afloat while my wife stays at home with our now 5 month old. Had things went on for a month more my Camaro was already spoken for and accomodations were being made to start selling other things.
I deliver goods to grocery stores and the only thing i will say is that in the 6 months i have been doing this job i have seen employees after employees become absent for weeks and some not coming back.
