Was supposed to video chat with my friend the other day.
he hits me up and goes "sorry man I can't talk today. I'm sick and can't get out of bed."
With a cold? A cold has so knocked you on your ass that you haven't been able to get out of bed for days? Of course he won't actually test so to him he just has a cold.
To be fair, I recently had an illness of some sort that fatigued the absolute fuck out of me. I tested 6 times for COVID and all of them came up negative. Still have no idea wtf it was.
the BEST covid tests have 80% accuracy on the BEST day to test
your shitty rapid test prob has 60% accuracy on that day, and declining every day afterwards
alternatively your immune system is fucked from covid and now colds and flus fuck you up
the best way to test for covid is stool tests but crackers are dumb so this doesn't happen
Or it could be the chronic fatigue I've been dealing with for almost 15 years now. I just haven't dealt with it in about a year so I had forgotten about it.
is there a DIY method or something? or do i need actual lab equipment to do this stuff
A "common cold" can still knock you on your ass for sure
I had a bacterial infection of the tonsils but my throat didn't even hurt. Symptoms were basically flu-like with fever, chills, and headache. It was my first time having such a thing, no idea how I contracted it.
