Fed up with the uncertainty of not knowing if her symptoms were COVID-19, Halley got in line with 600 other cars at a testing site in Georgia and waited. While she may not have driven away with answers, she did drive away with hope:
: Are these regular old symptoms, or something more dangerous? Is this just a bug, or is this “It”?
