I’m in the high risk category. I have COPD and Hypertension, BUT I don’t run “traditional” fevers. My body temp falls. Been that way since 1997 when I contracted a massive viral infection in three of my body systems. So if I come to get a test, showing most symptoms BUT a RISING temp, I wouldn’t qualify?
Let’s keep testing negative! Keep doing your part Enid!
PRAISE GOD : )
GREAT NEWS
