What made it worse were all the people I know who&#8217;ve either come down with the Corona Virus (ex-wife in March 2020) or had close calls via other victims (my friend Kathy, Jennifer is a nurse). So with Kathy&#8217;s experience, I downloaded an app in which I could schedule a test. The amazing part was how briefly I had to wait! When I drove up to the medical center, there was only one vehicle waiting before me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As for the test\u2026OUCH! The swabbing was pretty painful. Not up there when I had in tonsillitis in 1996 or my recent tennis injury, but close. I think the nurse hit my uvula a couple times based upon the burning throughout my sinuses. FYI, the uvula is that dangling thing in the back of your throat Bugs Bunny will practice boxing with if he&#8217;s trapped in a whale or giant. The horrible sensation carried on for hours and washing it down with anything didn&#8217;t make it go away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the end it was worth, by Sunday morning, I received the good news via the app. The test came back negative = I don&#8217;t have it. Now how much certainty there was? I&#8217;m going to go with a score in the 90 percentile ranking and I might check again in a couple months. It was a relief after having three symptoms which need to be addressed.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wasn&#8217;t feeling too hot Wednesday and was pretty much sick for the next several days.
