I could take full breaths, but it didn't seem like I was getting in oxygen for some reason. Note, I had been wearing the stupid mask for about 30 minutes prior to this.
Then I did the worst thing possible...googling symptoms. It said that shortness of breath was an advanced sign of COVID-19. Great, last thing I wanted to do was infect the boomer down the hallway from me. Hence, I walked a few blocks to an urgent care place and they listened to my lungs. They sounded fine, but went ahead and tested me anyway.
Then, I'm worried all weekend about getting a false positive and being stuck at home for 10-14 days. Yesterday morning, they called and said the test was negative. So at least I've got that going for me.
