I’d say it’s a relief if you test positive and then 14 days pass and you experience no or mild symptoms. But I know for me, personally, I’d be a nervous wreck during that period waiting for the symptoms to come (but I also have an underlying respiratory condition so that’s a big part of my anxiety).
That’s a fair question. I do think some people may buy and take the test if they’ve been in an area where the potential for exposure is high and they worry they are an asymptomatic or presymptomatic carrier.
