I was initially told that I wouldn't be tested as I hadn't been overseas or in contact with a confirmed case.
The 2nd time I went to my doctor she made sure I was tested and said I was a high risk category (which apparently, was her using a loophole.)
And I have tested positive.
Don't know what to say except here's to it being a mild case. Best of luck to you.
shareI've had this virus now for possibly 3 weeks, that's when I started to wonder if I was getting a cold, just that run down feeling. It took about a week after that for me to get a fever and lose sense of taste and smell (a big symptom).
Other than that, I'm doing good. No sneezing or coughing so fingers crossed I haven't passed this on to anyone.
Have you got your sense of taste and smell back ?
Are you serious? Get it treated. 3 weeks of Covid inside you means it may well be lethal. Remove it from your system before it's too late. Don't muck around.
shareIt's not in my lungs, so not a big concern. Just rest and drink a lot of water.
shareYour choice. Funeral services for intothenight will be arranged in 30 days after his passing due to Covid.
shareReally?
shareits called shaking a person into realizing how dangerous the situation is. He didnt understand or pay heed to my previous warning. Hence i tried the other method, implications of what will be the world like if things go wrong for him. Maybe that will wake him up and goto the doctors and get himself treated. Understand now what i am trying to do here?
shareI didnt know there was a treatment. what is it?
Medical treatments
If you develop a fever, cough, and have difficulty breathing, promptly seek medical care. Call in advance and tell your health provider of any recent travel or recent contact with travelers.
COVID-19 Drug Therapy – Potential Options:
Lopinavir; Ritonavir -
Come on, man. That's just uncalled for.
shareNot cool!
shareContext: "It's not in my lungs, so not a big concern." Intothenight has COVID and he's not worried until it's too late! His negligence regarding his health should be more of concern to you all.
shareIt's one thing showing concern, but saying, "Funeral services for intothenight will be arranged in 30 days after his passing due to Covid." is inappropriate.
shareOk let me counter that
"Funeral services for RamsesTheGreat will be arranged in 30 days after his passing due to Covid."
That text above didn't hurt me one bit.
You're on the right track. Hang in there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GVFgEBq0EKM
shareBest of luck! Get well soon! And the odds are you will, the fast majority of people have mild symptoms and recover quickly
As to getting tested, that's a bugbear of mine. As of now in the US, people who meet a list of symptoms are getting tested, and therefore we are only getting epidemiological data on people with certain symptoms, not on everyone who's actually infected. We need to expand testing, you and Prince Charles prove that you can be positive without ticking off all the boxes on the checklist!
Yeah at first they said it was just a cold as I hadn't been in contact with anyone. I friggin knew I had it.
shareYou can add Iris Elba to that list - completely asymptomatic.
shareSo sorry to hear this and wishing you all the best for a speedy recovery. Please keep us updated.
shareMuch luck and many prayers, friend. The odds are definitely in your favor!
