We got a call for Herself to go for her COVID-19 test and had to run, only just got back.
My word, but the roads are empty. 70 mile round trip, all "A" and "B" roads - not dual carriageway, much less motorway - and obeying speed limits: 52mph average - I've had a hard time maintaining that on a 3 lane motorway! As Herself said: "It's like 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the 70's out here"
Got there well early - half an hour - but there was no queue so we sailed through and came home.
Results will be 48 ~ 72 hours, so at least we will know one way or the other early next week.
Right, I'm going to collapse - that was exhausting!

Hope everything comes back clear.
A 70-mile round trip?! Did you retire to a sheep farm? 🐑

52mph average over that long a stretch of A and B roads is amazing.

I know! But the car has an drive time / distance, average MPG / MPH display, and I've never seen it that high before ...

of all the places to go these testing centres / places (i.e. apart from those like you requested to go for precautionary tests they're also places where people with symptoms are supposed to go) worry me
- and of course feeling sheepish about both catching & spreading the wotsit
driving these days sure is like the old days, less jams, faster flowing, people thinking no one's around so no need to stop at the intersection, hoons seeing they've got so much empty road it's time to see how fast she'll go...(and not forgetting the surge in amateur philosopher chickens)

If what she's given me is COVID, it's like the worse Flu I've ever had, doubled. Really nasty, and that's before it's started in with breathing problems.

and now there's Heart Damage in COVID-19 Patients Puzzles Doctors - Scientific American[^] this. I've been scared because I'm old for one and I smoked and did construction for so many years without a mask so I've had breathing problems. I quit smoking about 9-10 years ago and that helped but I still have problems.
Hope for you a speedy recovery!

I hope for some good news in a few days; I can imagine the amount of stress this must be causing.

If they sold milk and cheese that was dirty and had gone bad would they be unsani-dairy?
