Long story short, my family and I went to Disneyland last week and I picked up the worst something and have been miserable all week long. Doctors got the tests today and I’m going in to hopefully hear I’ve got the flu. Never thought I’d want the flu so bad in my life!
••••• UPDATE •••••
So the test they did was two nostril swabs from quest and I tell you what, that was not a pleasant experience! Here’s what it looked like (the bottom one), they had to shove that thing in my nose to the red line both nostrils for two swabs. Here’s kind of what the process looks like
They said it’ll take up to 3 days to know, so I should have results by Monday. But on a positive note, I think I’ll be okay because my lungs were pretty clear she said!
I’ll make another comment on Monday With the results, or should I make a new post? Thanks fam!
There’s a specific test you can take to let you know if you have the corona or not, that’s why I’m going. Peace of mind is something worth having.
One thing I'm confused about: I thought the protocol is to rule out flu before testing for the Wuhan virus?
The flu test is done in the doctor's office and only takes a few minutes.
I guess so, it's your choice to do what you want. If you find out you have it then I guess you can stress out about that then. Hopefully you'll get over whatever it is you have or it's not anything worse.
I'm just saying you're putting yourself in a risky situation where you'll have an enforced quarantine put on you (if you do have it) - you might even wind up feeling better in a couple days and wind up being stuck in your house for a couple weeks.
Whatever happens, hopefully you'll get well soon!
Thankfully I work from home, so that’s already been resolved ;)
Stop scolding him for doing the right thing you dolt.
Scolding him? What? Ok you're just an idiot...
I'm really curious to know what'll happen if he's diagnosed to have it. Likely will be told to rest and try to recover. If things were to get worse then go to the ER... so what's the point?
From my understanding, this thing is extremely contagious and deadly to certain people. My neighbors and parents are all past 60, so I’d like to know if I need to stay away from them so I don’t kill them.
