But by then my fever was already gone two days, I went to the ER twice. Inhaler, steroids, antibiotics, cough medicine.

When I got my results, it said "not detected," then clarified that not detected is not the same thing as negative, as it only is seen on the test if you had a fever at the time of taking it, There have been a lot of sick people at my job these last several weeks. There's no telling.... The testing situation in Texas is still very bad.
