I have had a Bronchitis for the last week and can't shake this cough, but otherwise, I don't have it that I am aware of. My friend in Ohio is getting tested later today since she has the symptoms, but hoping like hell she tests negative.

I most likely have it. Symptoms so far aren't that bad, my doctor told me to get the fever down, and keep him updated if I develop severe respiratory symptoms or can't keep the fever down. Paracetamol has managed to keep the fever down, (down to 37.9 from 39.1 just an hour earlier) Either way, I'm stuck here feeling like absolute dogshit. Everything hurts and I can't help my parents who are stuck here with me. Here's to a good night's sleep.
The uncertainty is the worst part. But emergency services only come around to test when symptoms get more severe.

So this is where it came from. Have a friend in FB who shared a variation of the post with slight differences (japanese doctor offering excellent advice)
I had flu-like symptoms like 12 days ago.
Now I only have a (sometimes) dry cough, probably from the same thing, but it's making me anxious because I'm staying at my parent's house and they're quite old.

Same. I think it's allergies, but this whole thing just makes me more and more nervous that it could be Corona.
I wouldn't know until I got really sick. I have constant and continuous allergy induced asthma (going on 2 years). I'm always coughing with bouts of snot and sneezing.
What's the possibility of cancelling/postponing it? These aren't normal times afterall.
0. I've already emailed them about it and they said it would still continue.
I have an itchy throat and coughing quite a bit. I also feel a bit tired...
Hard to tell if it's just a cold or something more. Gotta be honest, normally I wouldn't really care but times have changed and I'm getting anxious.

Week of Feb 4th I had 2 nights of terrible cold sweats, entire body aching and felt delirious. Couldn't sleep. Luckily during the day it was mostly down to body aches and light headededness.
Then it was followed by one night and one day of crazy sinus blockage and painful cough and heavy chest, though breathing seemed fine.
Finally two days of just light-headedness and feeling strange. That's a week of illness and I never get sick. Haven't had the flu in probably a decade. I think it may have been a coincidental flu but I keep wondering if it was coronavirus. That week my coworker was out because he broke his fucking ankle snowboarding so I had to work 11 hour days all week. Horrible. So glad that's over.

Well, no corona but I got some stomach bug today, been throwing up and pooping all afternoon. Apparently few people had that at work, and I'm not a touchy feely shaking hands type of a person, but I think I still picked it up from them. Based on their experience I should be fine n the morning but definitely won't be heading in tomorrow. I'm in IT so it's an option and we are working on communications for large scale wfh around the country, so there's plenty to do.
I mean you do know what it probably is. It's the flu. Just because you get the flu shot doesn't mean you 100% won't get the flu. Those are just immunizations against the strains researchers predict will come to the US, but they're not always correct. All your symptoms still line up with the flu.
"The clinical presentation of influenza infection is asymptomatic or mild in 75% of cases. Influenza presents with very characteristic features, hence the term "flulike symptoms".
- Incubation period: a few hours to several days
- Sudden onset of high fever, chills, headache, arthralgia, myalgia, fatigue, and malaise
- Patients often develop acute bronchitis with a cough that is usually dry but may produce small amounts of clear or blood-tinged sputum.
- Hypotension and bradycardia are common (especially among women and older patients)

I've just gotten over the flu (confirmed) a couple weeks ago and am now getting head congestion. Hoping it's just a cold but damn it. This is the third illness this winter.
I gotta be honest, if I start feeling like I'm getting it I probably won't get tested. None of the primary care doctors in my town have the test, so I would have to go to the hospital ER and get tested, but I can't afford to pay for an ER visit.
i'm hoping my work offers tests for employees. they give us free flu shots so it would be cool.
I'm shook I have it but it's just being paranoid
Chest is sore though so I'll keep myself tabs on that.
31 here so I've got medicine ready and drinking immune boosters and more fruits.

My job is having a company wide meeting tomorrow and nobody knows about what. But that's it's in reference to the virus. We've gotten emails and things before but we only have one company wide meeting the entire year so many are expecting them to suspend production temporarily.
it worries me because my job is the kind that they expect you to come in unless you've been shot. And they have stuck to this all winter all of the sudden they sent is home early yesterday and told us all to come to the corporate office at 1030amAnd not to report to work at normal time. Then they sent out some email about how they will provide pto for anyone who text positive for Covid-19.
Shit is spooky.
