Last night my throat got sore on the right side. For a year now I've had a sore throat, but that's mainly been on the left side and recently the middle. It's still sore this morning, so, to be sure, I wanted to book a Covid-19 test. In the Netherlands you can do that online. But the website wants me to go to locations that are more than a thirty minute car ride away, and I don't have a car. Walking distance from where I live there's an XXL location, which, according to reports, can handle much more people than it currently does.
So I tried calling the hotline to see if I can get a local appointment. But it's so busy I'm not even put in the waiting line and I have to try again in half an hour.
I've got no other symptoms; no fever, coughing or loss of sense of smell or taste. It's probably either the stomach acid or my hay fever. But I want to be sure. So now I'm sequestered to my rooms and I'm nervous. Meanwhile I keep trying the hotline (I don't think anybody waits 30 minutes).
