Son has a runny nose and was saying his ear hurt, So ran him up to the Doctor to see if it's an ear infection. No fever or Cough. When we got there the Pediatrician said his lungs were clear, Throat was red, and ear was most definitely infected. She then suggested we get a Covid test and isolate till we know the results... I actually laughed at her. C'Mon man...

This is happening everywhere, all the time.... I cannot tell you how many employees I've had that had to take a day or two off waiting on their child's covid test. Everything from stomach bugs to teething to strep or just regular childhood viruses that cause a fever, none of them had a positive covid test.

It’s just a simple process of elimination. We’re in the midst of a global pandemic with a virus that we’re still learning about each day. It’s symptoms are similar to countless other viruses, but tend to escalate quickly in terms of severity. It might just be a simple ear infection, but recommending a COVID test/isolation makes logical sense as a healthcare provider. It doesn’t mean you have to do it, but the recommendation does make sense.

Case in point: I had a really bad case of mono years ago and the doctor wanted to test me for meningitis based on my symptoms (before the realized it was mono). Looking back on it, I wasn’t thrilled about the spinal tap but I was thankful to have it a potentially life-threatening illness ruled out.

Italy reports 13,720 new cases and 528 new deaths. Italy has now lost 0.1% of their population to COVID-19.

I laugh when someone tells me to hold off until facts come in this THIS particular thread, after all this 'voter fraud' silliness. LOL I just learned about this raid a few minutes ago. Any info on it is appreciated. Also, a misdemeanor stalking case shouldn't necessitate a Swat guns drawn situation. I can't stand that ----. 99% of the time there is zero need for excessive tactics like that.

Edit: my mistake, I thought I was posting in the political thread.. lol
