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 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 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 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.
