The OURA ring tells me my body temperature and resting heart rate has been going up the last few days. Asks me if I am feeling ok.
Then I start to feel sore throat....especially towards the evening time.
Then I start to feel tired and slight headache.
And the only thing I can think of is COVID. I can't have COVID. I have been extra careful and I don't have the time for that.
So I dragged myself to urgent care. Fortunately, they provide COVID testing. To my surprise, every other person was there for the same reason. COVID testing.
But when they heard my symptoms, they decided to test me for COVID, the flu and strep throat. The swabs weren't as bad as I had expected it to be. And I waiting a good 30 minutes for the result. The rate of infection in the US is at an alarming level and I was mentally trying to decide where I should go since some areas were already at 100% capacity.
The results came back negative. For all three.
I was very relived though I am curious why I had the symptoms. My body does need to rest but I am happy that I don't have to deal with COVID for now. With any luck, I will get the vaccination soon.
