When Covid Strikes: What Causes False Negative Tests (Superpowers or?)

Covid has invaded my house.

Nine days have passed since my son brought the yuck home from his middle school, and though everyone in my house has tested positive, I haven’t. This is truly weird, since I have most of the symptoms.

The last time our house was infected with the VID, the same thing happened. I tested negative while my husband tested positive. We both had the symptoms. We both took forever and a day to heal, and yet, every time I take a Covid test I have to mark the spot on the form which says I’ve never tested positive for Rona.

I’m not sure why this is. My husband says it’s my superpowers. My bestie believes my body may fight off the virus so swiftly that there aren’t enough antigens in my system for a positive test. I’m sure there’s some real scientific explanation for these strange and unusual occurrences, but I’m going to go with superpowers… because yeah… that just sounds cool.

Stay healthy and safe, friends.
