    on a side note I have a slight fever, headahe, slight sore throat. I haven't been anywhere been home for a few weeks now so I doubt it's the Covid 19, but who the heck knows. Will continue to monitor the situation. For now I'm a bit run down and tired.  

    I used to get chronic Strep throat once a year, so could be that.  I'll keep ya posted.

    MATT,  since you have a sore throat and headache and fever, no known COVID exposure, but a history of recurrent strep throat, AS A DOCTOR, I would suggest you get a strep test ASAP since it is so treatable and responds quickly. I it’s negative, then you should consider other options.  You hope you feel better soon!  

    Sounds like a plan!  Our

    Sounds like a plan!  Our C tests are taking up to 10 days to come back from Labcorp! By then you are either well or dead! Waiting on the 13 minute new test by Abbott. That is what we need!  I don’t think you sound like COVID-19.

    According to reports we tested

    According to reports we tested over 1 million people so far in this country but received results back for only 50% of those tests. Great system we have working here in this country

    Yes I actually bought a test kit, should be here tomorrow, it's the same test they use in many offices for Step.  Most places around here won't even test you for the C Virus unless you are really bad and have trouble breathing.  I know a buddy who thinks him and his family have it, they've had fevers for 5 days and doctors told theme they will not test them unless they have trouble breathing. So that highlights the need for these tests to be more widespread.  

    anyway if it is Strep I have prescription already for an antibiotic.  again I'll test myself tomorrow. If it is strep it tends to progress quickly - the previous times I've had it my fever would get close to 103.5 - 104, that's pretty high for an adult.  gotta tell you, when it's that high you can't function. Again I haven't been anywhere so I have doubts it's virus.

    Hey Matt, hope you're better

    Hey Matt, hope you're better soon. Glad  you've got the test coming and you're already armed with antibiotics. It sounds like it's unlikely you've got the virus. Good luck and feel better soon! Take care of yourself.

    thx everyone. At least I
