COVID testing is also considered tyranny? [View all]

I had an interesting discussion with some conservatives in which they objected to me saying that having lots of very affordable rapid COVID tests would be a good way to be able to keep things moving. The idea being that if they are cheap then airlines, restaurants, etc.. can do the tests to drastically reduce the risks of many normal activities. I thought that was a pretty reasonable idea, but apparently that offensive and infringing on their rights. Which I guess I should have expected that given the amount of pushback masks have received. Although, I think this is even more ridiculous than the anti-masker.
