Get Tested!
After using two Covid-19 home test kits that mih gave me, I bought eight more kits for $80 and used five of them. I was about to buy more, but starting today you can order a 4-pack of free Covid-19 test kits, compliments of the federal government bureaucracy.

Covid: Week 3
Two weeks ago tonight, my throat felt sore and I started to cough. The next day I tested myself for Covid and it was negative. As my conditioned worsened to include sneezing I tested myself again, and it was positive.
Depending on the brand of rapid antigen test, results are promised in 15 or 20 minutes. In my case, a positive result doesn’t even take 15-20 seconds.
Yesterday I felt as though I was getting closer to recovery, but today I feel worse. My symptoms are a reminder why there are doctors specializing in ear, nose, and throat ailments.
The coughing mostly stopped last week. My breathing was never affected, and I haven’t had a fever. But if I’m not testing negative again by next week I’ll contact my doctor.
Follow-up: I tested myself again — twice — and… it’s negative. So it seems possible that I have had a plain, old cold, in addition to Covid?
