35. They did that last year, test for flu first

Before testing for covid.
I know a few who had covid early last year and were given a flu test.

I hate to say this, but people who are vaccinated CAN get covid, and be hospitalized, and spread it no matter what they say. At first it was all hospital cases are unvaccinated, then 99%, then 98%, then 97% so more vaccinated people are ending up in the hospital.

My best friend is immunocompromised and currently on oxygen in the hospital in Florida with covid. She does home health and got it from an elderly vaccinated couple who's
Vaccinated son came to visit and took them out to eat! They're both in the hospital too.
She brought it home and gave it to her son and boyfriend. Son's fever broke today.
They both feel really ill.

So wear a mask. Insist on a test or buy one on line as mentioned if you suspect covid.
