    Sometimes it takes at least 48 hours after your first symptoms for the test to show positive. I'd test again on Monday. Hope you feel better soon.

    I actually didn't get a positive test until after my fever broke. About 3 days after first signs of feeling crappy.

    Ivermectin saved my sister's life. Period, end of story. And those c- sucker doctors and corporate See You Next Tuesday hospital administrators tried to keep us from giving it to her.

    They can all rot in hell.

    We all have that guy at work, he was super spooled up during peak covid and was self rightious as well. He just got back from his second round of covid and is wearing a mask in the office, still clinging to symbols that do nothing but placate a triggered mind.

    Get to get my 2nd test in 4 days tomorrow morning. Been off work sick since Wed., tested negative Thursday and thought I was doing better yesterday. Temp had dropped but felt like whatever I had was trying to get into my lungs. Kept taking severe cold and flu and eating cough drops like candy.

    Tbis morning have a persistent dry cough, lungs on fire, temp climbing back up, 100.6 currently and pretty certain I lost my sense of taste and smell late this morning. Can't smell cologne when I spray it and can't taste the breath miny flavor only detect it's sweet, similar to last years positive result.

    Almost a year to the day. Tested positive Dec. 20th last year.

    Kiddo got the stomach bug from daycare. Puking for 12 hours along with a bad headache. Wife had a bad head cold and now she most likely has what kiddo had. She tested this morning and was negative. Her office also had influenza A. Tis the season

    Negative, think the cough drops and coughing/blowing nose was messing with my senses. Could faintly smell garlic this morning.

    Back to work in the morning.

    Back in the 1600’s there was a mass hysteria event revolving around vampires… garlic was one of the methods they used to determine whether or not somebody was a vampire… back then they didn’t have mRNA so they had to destroy the heart by driving a wooden stake through it.
