I’ve read that many people have/are exhibiting symptoms but weren’t getting tested because they didn’t check all of the boxes, but that is finally starting to change this week. Maybe I’m missing it, but it sure does seem like a large number of people who are exhibiting signs of some sort of illness/sickness in order to get the doctors script to get tested who end up NOT having Co-Vid. If they don’t have co vid and not the flu, do we really have that many people running around at this time of year with sore throats, diarrhea, fever, chills, headaches and whatever other symptom is associated with CV? If it’s not CV, what do all of these people have?

Yes. There are plenty of people who have sore throats, cough, stomach bugs, the remnants of flu seasons, colds, allergies in late winter/early spring. PLENTY.

Factor in the anxious people who start to feel progressively more “sick” every time they clear their throat.

My elderly mom with COPD went in with shortness of breath, she's at risk. They did an x-ray, found a possible malignant mass in her lungs, and refused the test b/c she had no fever. They told her they are reserving tests for people that have all of the symptoms. Which btw- lets a whole bunch of asymptomatic, or barely sick frickers run around infecting others.

So when this shite blows over I have to take her to the doc to see if she has cancer. If she makes it through the next few weeks since she went to the hot zone and had an x-ray and oxygen.
