REAL. I'm still testing negative on the covid tests I am still going through from the last time I got some free ones (and thus I am pretty sure they don't detect the new strain) but I am convinced this is what I have because charles-agony my entire body is sore, my throat is still raw from vomiting every other hour Tuesday night after bed, and I keep coughing.

You may have to swab your throat to get a positive on the cheapo tests.

agni-pain my parents & PCP both instilled the nose and mouth dual swab back when the rapid tests came out to me but unfortunately I either am just covid negative (lucky) or the tests are just too old. Will get a PCR tomorrow inshallah
