So I went to the doctor several days ago just to get a routine prescription refilled. For some reason the nurse asked if I would be okay with them doing some blah blah test.
I jokingly asked what it would cost me. (Nothing- insurance) and I just thought it was a blood test because Lord knows doctors freaking love to take blood. Broke finger? We need blood. Sore shoulder? Blood. Nothing wrong at all? Blood.
Anyway she comes back in with one of those long swabs and now I'm actually paying attention. What's that for? To test for CoVid I'm told.
I laugh. I tell her that I don't have CoVid. I had Covid and I know what that's like. Plus, I feel fine. Really good actually.
Oh this new strain is different she tells me. Different as in there's no symptoms? Yes sometimes... and it's really going around. Well, if there's no symptoms why do I care if I have it or not? Because you could just be a carrier.
Whatever. So she swabs my inner nose. (That is a gawd awful feeling!)
10 minutes later the doc comes dressed in a head to toe freaking hazmat outfit. I ask her if I tested for Ebola or something and she tells me that I hit for CoVid.
I tell her that she's wrong and her test is for shit, but she swears it's true and that I should wear a mask for a few days.
Nuuupppe... that's no go. Not then and damn sure not now and not ever again.
Anyway, so supposedly the "new" Covid is a big ol bunch of nothing, as in no symptoms.
