How did you get this test? I want to take one for myself. About 20 percent of our daycare staff/children have tested positive. I’d be shocked if I didn’t have it and remained asymptomatic.

Labcorp is doing them for $10. I'm Negative, but i got my results the next day. Heads up, I think i remember seeing articles state that it takes up to 2 weeks (maybe 3) before antibodies are present in high enough numbers to register on the tests. (Needs fact checking)

It’s not in your head or allergies, that’s what gets people in trouble. Trust your body and mind!

I see Covid patients every week. The most common symptoms I see are:
1) Sore/itchy throat
2) headache
3) fatigue
4) sinus congestion or itchy nose
5) fever (low grade 99-100F)
6) cough

In order of most common to least common. To me the big 3 are throat, headache, fatigue.

If ANYONE reading this has anything weird going on with their throat or nose, get tested...you probably have CV. People tend to think it’s something else if it’s so mild, but mild illness is very common here. The last thing you want to do is infect a loved one.

This means my family probably did have it in March. My wife had a sore throat, headache, and 99 fever for days. I had the constant headache and fatigue for 3-4 days.

I came home early from work Tues night ( was working night shift ) with pretty much all of those, actually woke up last night with a lower grade fever and sweats, going to my dr in a hr to get tested.....I know I am sick with something guess the proper thing to do is rule out Covid, I am already no contact with people except my wife and son and we are keeping them as far from me as is reasonable.

What a terrible decision. Counties and cities should be able to do what they feel is necessary. Hotspots are screwed now.

Its weird how people are excited about something like that, or how they just don't GAF about other peoples health at all. Its screwed up also that is is mostly based on politics.....if Kemp/Trump were calling for mandatory mask and the left were saying they would not wear one the same folks whining about mask now would be screaming at folks not wearing mask through their MAGA 2020 mask.....
 
What I don’t understand is back when all this started, people were calling for Kemp to close the schools. He left it up to the local counties and districts to decide if they needed to close, He said he wanted to leave it up to the individual locations because that was the right thing to do. Well we all know shortly after they ended up closing all schools. My point is if he felt that decision should originally be made at a local level instead of statewide, then why not let these hotspots make their own determination on a mask mandate?
 
This isn't good at all. Hospitalizations are around what they were back in April now for Georgia and I'm pretty sure the deaths are catching back up slowly. Only a matter of time before we surpass it.

Georgia sees dramatic rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations

The Georgia Department of Public Health reported 417 new hospitalizations.

I'm confused, does Kemp's order override Walmart's mask mandate? Or being a private business lets them do what they want mask-wise?
 
Yeah, I kind of laughed when I read Kemp say that jurisdictions making masks mandatory is illegal, at this point it doesn't matter, you're going to need to take your masks with you because if you're in an area that made it mandatory, they're going to make it mostly mandatory to get in places, I think areas making it mandatory gives places the confidence to also do it, and you can be refused service easily.

I will say one thing that I WON'T be doing assuming we make it to early August...and it's wearing a mask outdoors in a state park. I know NC has made masks mandatory, but there isn't much way we follow that outdoors.
