my symptoms are a cold, a scratchy throat and a bit of a runny nose. but i m fine. if you couldn t guess, that was hugh jackman. all of this, the similar symptoms to cold and flu, it s adding to another layer of confusion. the one thing that could end the confusion, home testing kits. exactly. even though president biden has promised 500,000 home testing kits for three, that sounds like a lot. but it s not right now. the u.s. has 30 million people. 1 1/2 tests isn t enough, to do testing as frequently as brushing your teeth once again. a shortage of tests is not going to help or mitigate events and possibly prevent a surge happening.
