- Grossman: A tale of COVID-19 testing: One evening, a few weeks ago, my 16-year-old daughter Naomi started complaining of muscle aches, a symptom of possible COVID-19 infection. The following morning the aches went away, but they came back again a few days later. As someone who has experienced physical symptoms due to anxiety in the past, I wondered if my daughter was experiencing the same thing. But I knew it was better to be safe. So on July 21 we got her a virtual appointment with her doctor. During that appointment, which took place via computer in our kitchen, Naomi also complained about a tightness in her chest, which was news to me.
