There’s also a test for strep, AND it’s rarer in the summer but entirely possible to get this time of year. I did, about three years ago. Would have been nice if they’d tested for that too, but there’s not a lot of health or care in US health care, it’s about profits.

You can get tested for strep at the mini-clinic at your nearest pharmacy. The in-clinic test isn’t super accurate but they can send it off to a lab for a better test. I’ve tested positive and gotten an antibiotic that day, and I’ve tested negative in the store only to get a call a day or two later saying the lab results were positive and to come back for an antibiotic.

You have summed up the Urgent Care Experience to perfection! Glad you are not deathly sick and get better soon!

“If one of the symptoms is the desire to poke out your own eardrums, I definitely have coronavirus.” LOL

Glad you tested negative. And stay home! :)
