So Saturday I came down with headache, shooting pains in my bones, and tiredness and stuffy nose, then yesterday I lost me taste and smell completely, even when I clear the mucous from my nose I can't smell anything ! I can taste if something is bitter, sweet or salty but can't taste the actual item or flavour but in terms of smell, NOTHING!!
Anyway today I've had really bad cheek bone sinus pain, I'm isolating of course based on my loss of taste and smell and I've not sent my children to school and we are planning on staying indoors away from everyone for 14 days But im scared and Anxious of doing a test, I'd have to order a home one anyway but I've heard so many theories of these tests, like Covid actually being on these swabs to deliberately spread it and make peoples current illness worse or that they just want our DNA because I can't understand why they need to do the throat and nose on the same swab just to see if we have it when we are told to wear masks as it's so contagious why not just test saliva ? We even have to clear our nose before doing it ? Why? If it's so contagious it will be in our mucous wouldn't it
I'm so anxious and don't trust that government really and think there is a hidden agenda. But I need to get the test done because I need to know if I've got it! What do others think of these tests ?
