Gettin' Tested

[my-thyme]

So, I have a friend who just tested positive for the crud. She is badgering me to get tested.

I am really not interested in becoming a number in this game. I see nothing positive for me, or the people I associate with, in getting tested.

Can you give me a good reason and convince me to go get tested?

If you're not feeling ill, there is no logical reason to do so.

And if it's just cold or mild flu symptoms, no reason either. Why wait in line for 4 hours when it won't change a thing for how you feel or treat the symptoms.

Do it for the children!!1!

Right now I have a little runny nose. I see no reason to go get tested.

I have last year's amarylis bulbs to plant = no time.

Take a shot of Everclear, if that don't fix it nothing will.

Someone close to me got the rona for Christmas. Mild flu symptoms and loss of taste/smell. Of course, vaccinated. Imagine that...
No sign of it for me.

Not likely to find too many children in line to test. He'd be better off licking playground equipment.

I would have prefered a sweater.

My nephew and his wife were exposed a day or two before Christmas. Ran out and bought two Covid tests ($25 ea). Tests cam beck negative. They are still quarantining.

They should test again. Then again. then again. Then again.

Two of my sisters go to local St. Mary's County churches, and both churches have already canceled Sunday services due to COVID concerns. One church is small, one is BIG.

Both sisters currently have a cold, testing negative for COVID. I wonder how much of a hit the church coffers will take by the cancelation of Sunday events.

Our church closed for two Sundays after somebody at Christmas Eve tested positive. We'll be open again on Jan 9th.

Exactly. I feel lousy, really lousy. So lousy that I can't imagine waiting in line for hours for a test to confirm that I feel lousy. I just want to rest, not drive around the county all day. This hysteria has gotten out of hand.

My favorite Dr is reading this thread - she will be including you all in her daily numbers. She will probably be sending the police to your door with an order to quarantine as well.

She's going to have to find me first!!!!!!!

That's not hard - we all know you are in BED!

I will get tested when the ambulance drops me off at the er. Otherwise I will self medicate if/when needed, which is not now.

Hope it doesn't last too long!

Nope.

But if you can tell me how many people showed up, that's how many good reasons I can give you for NOT going.
