Yay David.  Great news.

Bummer about the cold though

as long as my cold doesnt morph into the flu

ive had my flu shot but its no sure thing i wont get flu

its been quite a few years since my last bout of flu

Had a covid test done a few weeks ago.

Was a strange test. Mine was a 'self-test' where they give the swab and tell you what to do with it.

Dr recommended getting tested after having flu symtoms.

You actually pushed that thing across ( I had always thought it was up ) your nasal cavity all the way

and turned it around a few times ?? What are you...a masochist 🙂

As it isn't as accurate as we imagine it should be ( and having it done twice is recommended ) I will be waiting for the breath test.

A terrahertz radiation reading is almost absolute in accuracy.

Sounds a bit gruesome but surely a small price to pay to help stop the spread and do the right thing which Snow*Jewel did.

Yes, small price to pay for making sure my sore throat wasn't covid .

Just followed the instructions the health care workers gave me. 

It's a bit of a worry if the  placing a swab in one's nose and throat as a procedure, puts some people off from getting it done?

 It has to be blokes.

Not one has given birth - hello - a swab - try being pregnant. lol

Just to prove that my overabundance of caution, and seriously misguided sense of altruism are running at full steam, I got swabbed a second time.

And just like a pimply teenage boy asking the prettiest girl in school on a date, the result was negative, ha ha...

Be well, people.

🙂

 OK - then - all good - you aren't pregnant. lol

If I've learnt anything from the "Where did I come from?" books, it's that keeping a respectful 1.5 metre distance is likely to impede my progress, in that regard, ha ha...
