Flave: "Why?"

To see if she has COVID or flu.

OK. Why?

So we can treat her if she does.

How would you treat her differently if she has the flu or COVID?

Well then we know.

We know what?

If she has either.

I'm not trying to be rude, but if a kid has a fever without flu or COVID, she has a fever with flu or COVID. Nothing changes.

Well, but then we know.

NO, you don't know anything of substance. It's going to be the same treatment for the same symptoms.

Well then why check for anything?

Because strep gets treated with antibiotics that she will need. Colds and flu do not.

I'm going to check in with the doctor and I'll be right back.

Uh-huh.



I'm telling you. These people are FUGKING IDIOTS.
They all get money for testing people for COVID-19 and for recorded cases of COVID-19.
