Last week my 7 year old daughter was rushed to hospital with ‘Acute exacerbation of asthma’. Except it wasn’t.
It was #covid and she had a false negative tests.

I’m a qualified nurse - and I have been managing her asthma for years, I thought I knew what to look out for.

1/16 She had contact with a covid positive person
Dec 21st & developed a bit of a cough.

On the evening of 22nd Dec my husband heard her cough & went in to check on her. I called out for him to check her sats.

I only asked he check her sats because of a tweet that I’d seen.
