If a visitor isn't willing to take a covid test to ensure everyone's safety... and feels that the best option is to politely decline and hightail it... then it's a win for both parties.

- Visitor doesn't want to have to prove they're not carrying a contagious and potentially lethal virus... and doesn't have to. They win because they don't get forced to do something they don't want to do.
- Person who is being visited doesn't end up risking the safety of their family and doesn't have to tell visitor that they're not welcome, also a win. They may or may not also re-evaluate the viability of the friendship with someone who has no concern for other people and won't increase other peoples' chances of not getting sick by way of taking a quick non-invasive test, but that'll probably vary.

What would be the issue with anyone taking a test though? Where is the harm? Why decline and leave?

The people I socialise with are very close friends whom I trust quite well being responsible, don't need to ask them every time I see them to do a RAT test or vice versa, I intend to live my life as normal as possible not being paranoid, you however may do what pleases you.
