'Is This Just My Body?' Asks Sickly Woman After Fifteenth Negative Covid Test
RICHMOND, VA—The current state of the pandemic has many people worried about their well-being. People are feeling fatigued, shortness of breath, even heart palpitations relating to Covid-19. One woman, Jackie Collins, has been feeling all of those things but, has never tested positive for covid.
Through Web MD, Collins diagnosed herself with COVID over fifteen times. However, whenever the test came back from a real lab and not the internet, it left Jackie begging the question:
“Is this just how my body feels?”
Collins, a 30-year-old, pack-a-day smoker from Richmond, Virginia, has taken fifteen Covid tests in the hopes to confirm that she has the disease so this shit makes sense.
“I feel tired all the time,” said Collins, cracking a beer at 10 in the morning. “Every minute of every day I’m just exhausted. Frankly, I sleep 18 hours most days.”
Since the start of the pandemic, Collins has been bedridden seven days a week—not because she can't walk or anything, but mostly because it's too bright outside and putting on clothes is "a whole thing."
“I haven’t seen sunshine in almost a year,” she said, drinking a sip of water and then immediately spitting it out in disgust. “I feel like maybe I’m getting a vitamin D deficiency. Or maybe some obscure illness that hasn't been discovered yet."
