Why is Everyone in Tuscaloosa Getting Sick?
I went to the doctor yesterday, and it seems like everyone is sick. It's crazy.
I had to go to urgent care for what I assumed was a terrible cold (spoiler alert: I have pneumonia), and I had to wait a solid hour before I got back to see the doctor... this, of course, was no fault of the doctor or his staff--the place was just packed.
Most everyone in the waiting room had the same symptoms: cough, chest congestion, runny nose--all of which lead me to believe that a particularly awful cold is going around. I heard from a friend of mine that her wait was FOUR HOURS at another urgent care, so yeah--this cold is no joke.
Y'all keep washing your hands and bathing in Purell!
