so, interesting covid related news: my cousin has a ton of weird symptoms: her chest is closing up and it hurts to breath (she got a breathing treatment today) her muscles & joints are in extreme pain & her kneecaps feel like they’re on fire. she’s been tested and is waiting

for results but the doctors told her that they’re seeing a huge spike in something that seems covid adjacent, with all of her symptoms exactly, but is coming back negative for covid 19, and they don’t know what it is

doctor said about 75% of patients come in w her symptoms (i forgot to mention the fever) and get a negative covid test result but they can’t identify what else it is. he told her it might me the new mutation of the virus, already

she said she’s never felt like this before in her life. we’ll know on thursday if it’s covid 19 and if it’s not, and it’s this new “really common” thing, well ugh, i don’t know i’m just sharing because i hadn’t read about this yet. will update this thread when we have results https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💜" title="Purple heart" aria-label="Emoji: Purple heart">
