So!! I woke up with a dry scratchy throat, sore eye sockets and a little fatigue. Mild dry cough. It's my day off so I said ok, I will humor the left and go get a test as I am having some COVID like symptoms.
1. Walgreens - Make an appointment online - Wait 1-2 days for results - Cost money - They are out of test
2. CVS - Make and appointment online - Wait 1-2 days for results - Cost money
3. Apple Care - Make an appointment - Wait 3-5 days for results - Cost a good amount of money
4. My primary care facility - Make an appointment - Results in up to 1.5 hours - Only 8 test done per day - Cost $155
While on the phone with the Doctor, the actual on staff Doctor at the Apple Care she informed me that even if I test positive for COVID there is NO cure or vaccine that will make it go away. I ask her to explain. She said "There are NO FDA approved vaccines to cure COVID. The only thing they have given us is an emergency approved for use injection and it does not get rid of COVID and insurance will not pay for it because it is not FDA approved". She told me that if I could ride the symptoms out then ride them out unless I have difficulty breathing, then I should go to the E.R. She told me she has NOT gotten an injection herself because there are no FDA approved vaccines.
So I did what I was supposed to do. Spoke to actual health care providers, and a Doctor in fact, and I was given medical advice from said Doctor... Not government officials.
By the way, if they are charging money for test then they have had to pay for these test so who is making money off COVID? I know that the government is really REALLY trying to push vaccinations... now I HAVE to ask... what's in it for them? It has to be money because that is all that matters.
