[Andy from Chapel Hill]

I had the strangest cold/flu starting around Thanksgiving after a trip to Texas by plane.

By Dec 20th, my family took me to a FastMed for a chest x-ray to see if I had pneumonia. Funny thing — I never had a fever. But, I was wiped out and needed bed rest.

X-ray was negative. Got a Z-pack (Azithromycin) and cough medicine, Z-pack did nothing. I had some doxycycline left over from an earlier illness and took it, which made the illness go away (I think).

I will be interested if they develop an exposure/antibody test.

There has been word of teams working on that version of a test. That can get very fast results if it works.
