Was there a good reason for you to be tested though? Just wondering.
That was also my suspicion. Again, it would never happen to someone in a car, they are in line, not easy to ignore, like someone sitting in a corner is.
And yes, my daughter has a serious cold, and ticks many of the COVID symptom boxes (fever, cough, congestion). So she needs a test for a number of reasons, most frustratingly, to see our doctor. At this point, given the pandemic, having a family doctor with a toddler is basically useless, there is virtually no time when they will see her, unless she has a test, she has a runny nose most of the time. So if she is sick, my choices are emerge or keep her home and hope for the best. A doctors visit will take a minimum of 48 hours (booking a test, test processing, and booking a Dr. appointment) and a serious illness will usually resolve in that time period, or progress enough that we need emerge. And given that my doctor is only available 4 days a week, they basically will not see us for an acute illness. As a new parent, I find this extremely stressful.
FWIW, our doctor will do flu shots, and we plan on going, but I am going to pre-emptively book a COVID test because given how frequently my daughter is sick, I'd like more than a 50/50 chance of actually getting a flu shot.
My son ended up in ER a while back. Triage is like “he has covid” without even doing a test. Kid was actually crashing out. Had to ask them to do a covid test, but they kept holding off, for whatever reason. Anyway, he was tested once he was better, and of course, it came back negative. He doesn’t go out enough (he works by himself at night) to even be a risk factor to himself.
Possibly myocarditis from the vaccine, and it was a good thing we got him to the hospital when we did. He was actually close to death, which is scary. If he needs a booster in the future, it won’t be Moderna. But we need further testing and possibly an MRI to figure out the heart damage.
