Column: I got tested for COVID-19. Should you?

The last time I traveled along Stadium Way I was headed to a Dodger game, but on Monday afternoon I drove to the fire training center near the ballpark for a much less enjoyable experience. Just a cotton swab and a five-minute drive-through, with results to follow in a few days. I was conflicted about being tested, for two reasons. First, while we definitely needed to ramp up testing back at the beginning of this crisis, I'm wondering if the county has now gone overboard in offering free testing to all residents, whether or not they have symptoms. Second, I'm pretty sure that my minor allergy-like symptoms are just that: allergies.
