How about your family members?
 
No. 2 family members who work at hospitals were tested (I don't know how many times). Everyone is healthy.
 
DH has been tested several times. I have not been tested as I was less sick than he was and everyone who lives in the house is presumed positive if his comes back positive. (Or that is how they did it back in April/May when tests were in really short supply.)
 
No. So far so good.

Best wishes for a negative result for him
 
Yes, I had to go or I could not attend work as I had a sore throat (it did turn into a very nasty cold).
It took just over two days to get the result- negative.
It wasn’t as bad as I had imagined it to be. I was dreading the “swipe”
 
We’ve all been tested multiple times.

Here you’re required to be tested every two weeks if you’re going to be near vulnerable populations. My niece was in the nicu so my sister and brother in law were tested twice. My grandmother is in a nursing home so DH and I are on a testing schedule.

It’s really not a big deal. You schedule it at the hospital. They have an online calendar. It takes maybe 15 minutes. Test results are usually available next day, longest wait was two days.
 
No and no.
 
I came home from a cruise in late February (from NYC area) and had flu-ish symptoms. Eventually had the antibody test. No COVID - just the flu.
 
Yes-had to be tested prior to surgery last month. Negative.
And don’t fear the swab-it’s not a big deal.
 
Not tested for Covid, but DH and I had an antibody test, both negative.
 
My son called me yesterday to say he was running 102.5 fever..was feeling like someone beat him up with a sore throat. He said that he actually felt better yesterday..He was tested two days ago. We’re waiting for the results...He’s always had a very strong immune system...I‘m hoping it’s some weird early flu...
 
No and no.
 
Nope - not yet.
 
No, and I am on my own in UK.

Don't think my mum and brother have been tested in Vancouver, however I could be wrong.

DK :))
 
No for me and no for the family.
 
No and no, so far so good and praying to stay this way.
 
I was tested for covid and antibodies for my surgery and I was double presumptive negative.

Now, I have to wait 8 days from Sunday if I want to get tested again. I was exposed on Saturday night by a friend who had just tested negative so we didn’t wear masks and then her kids had to get tested on Monday for camp so they asked her if she wanted to get tested and she figured what the heck and she was the only positive.
 
My sister just phoned to tell me she needs to be tested. She works in retail and last night developed a sore throat and a fever.
 
I just got the good news my son tested negative. He still feels bad like he was beaten up so maybe an early flu...
 
My son and I have been tested for antibodies because he was mildly ill for a long time early winter and developed a mild rash on his flank afterwards.
They both came back negative. I was SO bummed.

Thanks. She was asymptomatic positive, but now she is fatigued and has mild nasal congestion. I feel normal. I have a very very slight runny nose right now.


Btw, she is a doctor and my husband is a doctor so we can still make idiot decisions, lol. It’s a judgement call.....
 
Yes, just last week and negative. I felt sluggish and had a stuffed up head and scratchy throat. Allergies. It was not a big deal, I drove in and was out in about 2 minutes.

Hope everything is going to be fine with your friend. Hope you are not affected.
 
3x negative for me.
none for wifey
Have family that works in a nursing home and gets tested weekly so its a lot.
 
No, not me. My brother was tested and was negative. He had fatigue, ached very badly all over, and stomach cramps. (not nausea) No fever. He felt really ill for 3 days. Obviously some other kind of virus, thank goodness.
