Home #Covid Test
1. Pour a large glass of red wine and try to smell it.
2. If you can smell the wine then drink it & see if you can taste it.
3. If you can taste & smell it confirms you don't have Covid.
Last night, I did the test 19 times and all were negative, thank God.
Tonight I’m going to do the test again, because this morning I woke up with a headache & feel like I'm coming down with something.
*Remember, you may get a false negative. Retest regularly.
