Skiles Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 I know I'm just being impatient. It should be in tomorrow, if not later today, even. But sheesh. Waiting to hear if you have a disease that could kill people around you is stressful as fuuuuuuck. 1
StarPanda Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 By the time you get the results the rona will probably have already left your body 1
SwimOdin Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 It took 12 days for my results so it didn’t even matter that I got tested. 1

renjifan Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I know the feeling... 😕 But at least you were able to get tested right away! When I got sick, they told me I tested positive for Influenza A and B so they refused to test me further. They didn’t test me for covid until a week later when I wasn’t getting any better. Then it took 3 more days to get the results. So it was almost 2 weeks before I knew I had it. And by then I had developed pneumonia on top of it

Expand Psh. My AIDS test came back positive, but it was definitely inaccurate. I think they lied to get me to stop sharing my needles with all my friends and family. 1

Expand I am, thank you! 💗 But to be fair, I don’t think I actually had either type of flu. The doctor who ordered my covid test thinks that because it was such a new virus, it confused the machine and gave me a false positive for them. But Covid and pneumonia wasn’t a fun combo to fight off! Have you received your results yet?

Codename: Jackass Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 If the test was done by sticking it in your urethra the results would take minutes.

Codename: Jackass Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 Good news, there's a new saliva test that can return results almost instantly. Too late for you, but still...
