We are lucky enough to have an employeer that cares about spreading disease and are lucky enough to have the ability to work from home. One of my coworkers is currently working from home because he is sick and I appreciate him for it.

People that are sick generally go to the doctors not an in home test. Maybe your work takes an in home test as the gospel I don't know

An $8 test is a lot less than a $150 doctor's visit. It's also a whole lot cheaper than the potential costs of infecting a recovering mother and her infant.
There's nothing difficult about this. If you're sick, you should always increase your distance from others to prevent making them sick. If you know you have COVID, you know to be extra cautious. You go to the doctor depending upon the severity of your individual response. It has not been recommended to rush to the doctor if your symptoms are manageable.
Of course this is a thread about free tests, but want to say there is a study in the Lancet showing metformin reduces the risk of long covid by I believe 40–60% if started within 2–4 days of symptoms (don't quote me on all of the numbers—I read it about 6 months ago).

How does testing have no utility if even mild cases cause lasting damage? Each subsequent infection increases your risk of long covid. There's drugs that can help reduce your risk of long covid (the Lancet metformin study). Metformin is a safe drug for most people, so why wouldn't you want to know if your illness is covid?
