It's only for people who show symptoms and for those at-risk or who have weakened immune systems (I'm very much at-risk and have a weakened immune system), and I've been feeling like I've had pneumonia lately, so this all has been freaking me out because the symptoms are also apparently similar to Coronavirus symptoms.
I haven't been around anyone other than my sister and brother-in-law, and they don't appear to have it, so I don't know how I could have gotten it, unless they're asymptomatic or it came through food delivery or a delivery I had of bourbon, but it would still be nice to put my mind at ease.
Like I said, I highly, highly, highly doubt that I have it, but this would help put my mind at ease.
My birthday's on the 8th, so I can get a celebration in and then get tested a few days later
That article doesn't indicate what type of Covid-19 test they are doing. Is it diagnostic PCR testing to determine if you currently are infected with Covid-19? Or is it antibody testing to determine if you were exposed in the past few months?
I'd call to find out which test they're doing because if they are doing antibody testing that won't tell you if your current pneumonia like symptoms are due to Covid-19.
