We have an easy bedside test for RSV.
But the Minute Clinic doc then my actual physician did not order up such a test. Normally, this level of visit would not warrant it. So we could have gone several months with “bad bronchitis”, etc. until the medium, non- life-threatening viral illnesses would have clearly missed it. But I could tell not like any other flu/bronch.
I used to have athsma until 15 years ago or so until allergy treatments. It came back, I have inhalers and lung meds now. Phase change and surprised doctors make me think I got a preview deal on SARS-COV-2 myself, no extra charge. Question is - do I have antibodies? Wish I could buy a test at Walgreens.]
