Dr.'s Office Visit

I've had a sore throat for almost 9 days now.  I think it's Strep Throat.  Went to my Dr.'s office and they were all wearing masks and they gave me one to put on too.  They said they were doing something different now, and the Dr. would call me this afternoon to access the situation.  If it's strep he will be prescribing anti-biotics over the phone.  Of course now I have to self isolate too, which I was doing anyway.  I wish they would have told me that yesterday before I spent money on cabs.  I'm fairly sure this is not Covid-19, but am a bit concerned now about it.

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
