Trying to decide when to use my home Covid test.

I woke up today with a cough and runny nose. A few days ago I had to buy a new phone and the guy that waited on me was coughing and had a stopped up nose. I had a mask on, but I had pulled it down a couple of times because he couldn’t understand me with the mask. I have a home test, but don’t know whether to do it now or wait to see if it gets worse. It could be just a simple cold.

A mask is to keep from spreading . It doesnt protect ppl from breathing in something. You woukd have to wear a respirator for that.

@Skitzo I thought the k95 (or whatever it is) masks worked too? That’s what I use. I’ve had Covid twice and the one year I didn’t catch it was when I had been wearing a mask
