A young (30ish) cousin of mine has had several symptoms, living in an area with lots of seniors. I just found out a couple of days ago that he'd been ill (fever and cough...) and was concerned he might have it. I'm not sure if he has health insurance, but he just said the test was too expensive. I messaged him again today and his response was simply "I'm not dead".) I don't know what that means (he has a rather dark sense of humor), but if he was fine, I think he would have said so...  I'm just praying that he's OK.
I suspect there are thousands like him all over the country. I don't think we're doing nearly enough testing yet to get a handle on this pandemic. |
