Have you received a false COVID results?

[Alwayreckles93]

I tough I had COVID few days ago. I felt horrible with server chills and hot at the same time not sure how to describe it. I went to get tested and I received a called that it's negative. So my aunt went to the pharmacy pick up a home COVID test and nothing it came out negative. Was it regular cold or was it COVID. I mean I felt horrible what I'm confused is why did I get all negative results?

because there are other viruses/illnesses other than covid

and no i've never had covid

if you did an at home test, it could be that you did it wrong and it came out negative. but if you did an official test, then it can't be wrong

There are billions of viruses and bacteria that can make you sick. Fevers and chills will accompany many of those, just as they did before the Chinese virus.

Chinese virus. Love it!

There is still the usual flu and othr respiratory illnesses making the rounds. I had a sinus infection, folllowed by bronchitis, and then I got covid!

[Exterminatore]

Yes. Had a false rapid test that proved to be positive by further testing.

[Alwayreckles93]

Do you think they got your test mixed up with someone else?

[Exterminatore]

No. I just think the rapid ones are not accurate.

[Guy13]

No, thank God because I have seen that screw people for a year worth of work.

[Alwayreckles93]

Wait so you had friends that had received false results?

[Guy13]

Yes I did. It basically took them six months to get it all straightened out. It messed up their ability to pay bills like normal cycles for 9 months. It was a train wreck...

COVID isn't the only virus that makes you feel like crap. In fact, when I had COVID, my symptoms were nothing more that a very mild cold. I've had many other sicknesses that we're much worse.

[NYCQuestions1976]

I haven't had Covid. I think I'm immune.

[Alwayreckles93]

That's good.

[AimeeKyle]

I haven’t ever taken or had a need to take a COVID test. If I felt bad, I stayed home.
