Tested negative to COVID last week after checking into emergency at local hospital due to chills, severe headache, weakness, muscle and joint pain. Diagnosis was pneumonia and injested or inhaled infection that got into the blood stream. 5 days and $20,000 later I’m back on my feet and taking antibiotic for 2 weeks. The hospital COVID test was a 15 minute turnaround for preliminary result and 60 mins for verification.
