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!

If you're sick you generally shouldn't be around elderly and young people alike... you should generally not be around people.... I guess if you need a doctor to tell you that then that's your choice to make.

...common sense obviously, but you’re acting like the coronavirus isn’t a thing or as contagious as it is.

I don't care. It's a condition that everyone is blowing out of proportion and it's now a huge political tool. People are stocking up on TP and now we're going to have a flux of people wasting doctors time being scared that they have it. There's no magic bullet here, the doctor's going to potentially diagnose people with it. They'll be marked as having to be quarantined... now there's a situation that's going to keep you pent up for a couple weeks when you might get better and can otherwise function.

Going back to wasting doctors time, they're all going to be making a buck out of this too and another fallout from this shit is going to be how health insurance rates will have to go up from all this crap. Just another political thing to associate with this garbage.

That is not true at all.

God Bless you! You probably already know this, but you probably don't have Wuhan flu simply because no prolonged incubation period. Very much better to know, either way. Treatment may differ. Respiratory damage is nothing to trifle with
