The whole issue of testing is complicated -- it's valuable on a population basis, but the false-negative rate is so high that on an individual basis, if you have symptoms consistent with covid during a covid pandemic, you've got covid. And, as you say, it's not as though a test result would (or should) change your behavior. I'm just glad you've recovered, and I hope that R only has a cold.
I do have a hot tip should R (or anyone) turn out to have covid & have shortness of breath: proning, i.e. lying on the stomach. This is straight from the hospital covid wards, where it's done to help people fill their lungs better than they can do while sitting or while lying on their backs.
King Arthur flours are among the very few brand-name products I'm willing to shell out extra for, and their recipes are excellent! I'm not surprised the cake is rec-worthy. :^)
