“Food poisoning?”
On Tuesday, my husband and I ate a gyro at Arby’s, 2 hours later I had severe diarrhea so I only have been drinking water and sipping soda. I have no fever and my stomach is better today, I am sure it was the food! Some of my friends think I should be checked for Covid? I have been working all week, what should I do?

It might have been a bacterial enterocolitis. This is usually self-limited and you are already better so nothing specific needs to be done if you continue to improve. Advance your diet slowly and beware of fast food. No need to check for covid.
