No longer a COVID test virgin

I felt a bit run down on Sunday and then just fell full out awful yesterday. Aches, shivers, a temp of 39.7 (103.6F). I panicked, of course I did, and booked a COVID test. Managed to get one within an hour of booking on Monday evening and results arrived within 24 hours which I was incredibly surprised by.

Thankfully, the test came back negative. My temp is still slightly elevated but nowhere near what it was. I’m working from home for the next couple of days just to be extra cautious.

Phew!

So fast!

I keep seeing in the media here how the testing is a huge failure and people are either not able to book tests at all or are sent to testing centres hundreds of miles away and then have to wait weeks when they do get tested but my experience was excellent. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The school where I work stopped accepting rapid test results. So anyone that needs to get tested has to be out for 3-5 days until the results come back in.

I'm glad you had a much better experience than what the media was showing. Whew!
