@George-K How about the Mrs?

Ever since Saturday, she gets a very low-grade temperature in the afternoon. The highest it's been is 99.6. It passes in a few hours. Today, it was 99. I think I mentioned she got tested yesterday, so, we'll see.

I remain asymptomatic.

I can't help but wonder if I didn't get it in early March at a couple of concerts (Gardiner's Beethoven). They were on Monday and Tuesday, and on Saturday and Sunday, I thought I was going to die. And the...poof! Nothing.

Have you gone for the antibodies test? I am thinking about doing that after Christmas...

No, I haven't. I'm seeing a new internist on Tuesday, and I thought I'd bring it up at that time.

Oh man. Hope it's nothing and you and the Mrs. remain healthy.

Spouse and I both felt pretty blown away in March and assumed we had it. Carol had the antibodies test later and came back negative so we assumed it must have been something else but who knows?

[George K]

Mrs. George tested negative.

Mrs. George tested negative.

Oh-oh, opposites attract, you better get tested.

I did! I was tested on Saturday - I'm negative as well.

[Copper]

Likes repel - sorry.

[brenda]

When negative is a good thing.

[Mik]

A very good thing.

All tests are not created equal. We had a patient about a week ago, that tested negative on the BD screening test.

Nice thing about small hospitals, the hospitalist walked down and sat down on a lab stool. Patiebt has classic symptoms, including the start of the typical pneumonia. So we referred specimens to Mayo and State Public Health.

Two bingos.

Lot of the rapids sacrifice sensitivity for specificity.

@jolly D3 is still symptomatic. Afebrile, but with a headache and wheezing. She's an asthmatic.

She tested last week, and found out this AM that she's negative.

Perhaps a community-acquired bronchitis or something.

[Jolly]

@george-k God Bless, hope she feels better soon.

[Catseye3]

Sending y'all best wishes, George. As others have said, y'all have had enough of this shit.

[LuFins Dad]

How is she doing this morning?

D3 talked to her doc who suggested she get re-tested. He switched her to a different inhaler (Symbicort, which I had suggested), and she's a bit better.
