I was feeling pretty bad a few days before Christmas. Couldn’t breathe, anxiety level off the roof. I did a COVID test from the pharmacy which was negative, which in turn made me feel even more anxious about my health. A day after Christmas I was so bad I went to the hospital. They tested me there and in less than a minute it was a positive.
It was a pretty bad COVID, I got vaccinated about 2 years ago but this was the first time I actually got it. It went pretty pretty bad.
I am still suffering from long COVID symptoms, mostly issues with short breath etc. Currently lying down on the couch trying to get better. I really hope this ends soon, I need my life back.
I hope you don’t have to go through the same thing. I really wish you a swift recovery.
I’ve also never, never seen someone test positive on the first day of symptoms. Sometimes on the second, but almost always on the third.
The CDC bitching out to corporations by saying test on the first day so people can keep going to work sick is still insanity. I really wish they allowed people to throat swab since it’s supposed to be more effective, but I’m sure they’re worried about our litigious culture saying we’re trying to choke Republicans to death with microchips.
I wish you a well recovery.

PSA - Rapid tests from the pharmacy are highly accurate at proving a positive, they are very inaccurate at proving a negative.
Meaning if it’s positive, you’re positive. If it’s negative, you may still be positive.
When in doubt, get a PCR test.
