Strep
Flu
Covid.
I know ive been fighting something off for 3 weeks.
I had stayed at my sons house week before St. Pats.
My son and his wife had something but the seemed better.
Well ever since i got home ive battled sore throat
Etc. All covid symptoms.
Well a week ago or so my son tested positive for strep.
They didnt give him a covid test.
His wifes covid test was inconclusive.
I believe at minimum its strep.
But todays friday so no test results till Monday.😥
