Testing for Covid

I’m coughing and feeling generally miserable, so I immediately assumed I had Covid.  Yes, I’ve taken all the vaccines and all of the boosters, but, pessimist that I am, it can’t just be a cold.  I was sure it’s Covid.  So I took the test.  Negative.  I then figured pneumonia.  Doctor Eileen examined me and said, no pneumonia.  The unspoken thing she didn’t say was “It’s a cold, you idiot.”


So I’m taking cough medicine, but I also know that some tests are false negatives.  I’m testing myself again tomorrow.  I’m sure it’s Covid.
