I never got tested, but I had covid in a really horrible way. How does good testing help quarantine when there are people who are gettin the virus and not getting tested (some of which still heading out into the public creating more asymptomatic patients)
Further the virus can remain viable on surfaces for days, weeks if frozen. How does testing (combined with the above, ppl not getting tested) help in any way to know where the virus is. I think it will identify hotspots but then what. Texas was a hit spot and still had 4000 cases/day. Testing didn’t help reduce case count, but it did indirectly limit the effectiveness of the emergency room...
Oh well I don’t normally have shortness of breath or chest pains in the middle of the summer. Also had extreme brain fog and couldn’t remember howto code (true story). Also was coughing for the entire month of may. Oh cardiologist said I had a heart attack and partly failed a stress test, but couldn’t find any reasons for a healthy man in his mid30s to have had a heart attack.
Pulmonologist told me I had lung scarring and I had to do breathing exercises. Hmm what else happened. There was also stabbing back pain. My feet and hands were tingly and numb for two weeks, I lost all feeling below my knees....
But the pcr and igG tests all came back negative. Doc thinks pcr test was too late and serology test was false negative. At this point I don’t care about the tests I know what I experienced and it matches up to other bad covid experiences
Forgot to add, I have pericarditis now and have been told to rest and go easy for the remainder of the year
