Recently, I was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. I had symptoms, so I called my physician who referred me to a “drive thru” test site for the virus. After the test was conducted, I promptly pulled my car into a parking lot while gripping the steering wheel, feeling so alone and afraid. I had symptoms for the virus, didn’t I? Why did I even need a test? I thought “This is probably the last few weeks of my life!” With my emotional sobriety at risk, I said a quick prayer which provided a little relief.
