39. Yes, finally!
Thu Aug 20, 2020, 03:16 AM
Aug 2020

My state has a 211 hotline and they were very, very helpful. My sister said she would risk it and took me in her car. I really hated her doing that a lot!!!!! I wore my N95 that has tRump's name with a red slash through it and the test people liked it.

I had to watch a video at home to see what I was going to have to do. There was a drive up tent in a parking lot of SDSU. It was quick and organized. You roll the window down, take the swab, stick it as far up as you can for 15 seconds and then do the other nostril and stick it back in the tube. It almost felt good. The swab was really thin and tiny and I didn't have to go way, way up like I have been seeing for 5 months on TV (like up to your brain). I get the results back in 3-5 days.

I wish they had do it yourself kits with 24 hour test results (like we would have tons of by now with any other POTUS in charge) but tRump has chosen to kill us instead.

I still have a slight fever, etc but won't call my reg. doctor since he is an idiot. If I still have a fever and it isn't Covid I will call him (no choice) again but he is a waste of my time and energy at this point.
