#BlackCovidStories 9a
Day #2: Last night my college son spiked a fever + congestion +achiness
He quarantined & kept Checking his temp every hour
I was told to “assume” Covid
BUT I need to know
So I pushed
I just dropped him off to get a Covid-test
In my car praying & crying
10:23a They tested him for strep then said you’re Young & unemployed
So NO test for you
They’re only testing essential workers
My son said Ok
I asked to speak to Doc becuz we areNOT leaving w/out a test
Y’all you gotta fight to get a test
He is Now getting one
I’m so tired

12p Rapid Covid Test: Negative!
No Strep But Bacterial infection
5-day Wait: Covid lab results
As we were leaving, a nurse whispered: look we don’t really know what this thing is, just Assume Covid, throw the rec. meds at it, treat at home, and pray
I am done
