Was supposed to video chat with my friend the other day.
he hits me up and goes "sorry man I can't talk today. I'm sick and can't get out of bed."
With a cold? A cold has so knocked you on your ass that you haven't been able to get out of bed for days? Of course he won't actually test so to him he just has a cold.
This actually is what happens to me every time I get a cold, the flu, RSV, anything other than just seasonal allergies.
A few years back I had a cold for like 6 weeks. Tested negative for Covid, Influenza, and RSV multiple times each during the illness but could barely even make it to the bathroom, drink, or eat.
huh maybe it's a similar thing for him then. I still think he should test, but of course he's more concerned with convincing me that covid is over than in taking care of himself.
Yeah, he absolutely should test.
