If you don't have symptoms, they won't test you.
If you have symptoms, just stay home and isolate or take precaution and ride it out.
So WHY are there so many people wanting to get tested ... what for?
I mean at the rate that this thing is spreading, you can get tested, it could be negative and from the time you tested till you get result (1 day), you could have caught it.

Most of it is for peace of mind I assume, if you have symptoms you want to know if you do or don't.
Some of it is because they call people for contact tracing with confirmed cases, and they tell you explicitly to go get tested.
Then there's also this:

Lastly, someone theorized that people are just lying to get tested right before the holidays so they can gather (within or outside of restrictions, I guess).
