May 2020

Jan. 31, was weirdly sick Feb. 2-4. I had a whanging headache, an extremely sore throat, fatigue. I felt very strange. I had a cough for a week. No congestion.

I remember telling Mr Nay "this is the weirdest damn cold I've ever had." I got over it quickly. Then, when the whole covid 19 thing started, I never connected my cold to it because my symptoms weren't on the covid list. Until my symptoms were added about a month later! Then I said to myself, "Holy f**k??" Did I have covid and lived through it???

I also want to be tested, but I don't want to pay for a test that is basically worthless, as so many of them are now. 87% reliable?? Who cares? I want one 98 -99%.
