I Found Out I Have Got My Lunch Every Day From A Deli Where Someone Tested Positive For Corona Virus

[DanieRains]

They last worked there last Sunday. I have gone there for my lunch every day including Sunday I think.

I am trying to get tested.

I have had a runny nose, and slight cough for a month.

I assume it was allergies, which seem to get worse every year.

I feel fine otherwise.

I will keep updating this as my day progresses.

Calling UW Medicine now.

I want tested.

1. CV is not thought to cause a runny nose

"I heard" it causes dry nose dry cough as first symptom

2. I Think I Am OK But My Cough Seems To Have Gotten Worse

Still think it allergies.

I scheduled a video chat with UW nurse at 10:00 AM.

3. Start taking your temperature and start doing so every couple of hours.

This always has a fever with it.

COVID-19 is a lower respiratory tract infection, which means that most of the symptoms are felt in the chest and lungs. That’s different from colds that bring on an upper respiratory tract infection, where you get a runny nose and sinus congestion. Those symptoms seem to be mostly absent for people with COVID-19, though they’re not unheard of.

14. There isn't always a fever. Especially in early stages.

15. And in some cases that may be the ONLY indicator of things to come.

7. I Am Using A Pet Thermometer

There are none to be bought in Seattle.

So far so good.

8. you should be tested.

question: has the deli closed for a deep clean? are the people this person worked with quarantined?

i hope you will be able to get a test. In NC you would not be able to get one except through your doctor at a commercial lab.

[DanieRains]

10. They Closed Deli

[barbtries]

12. Thanks.

I would expect that there will be a complete disinfecting, and hopefully all of their customers and employees have been made aware of the situation. I'm gathering this is on a university campus?

9. The Bluest Skies You've Ever Seen Are In Seattle

We'll soon live on Solyent Green in Seattle......

11. Keep an eye on your temp

[DanieRains]

13. Doing Teleconference Now He Is Trying To Find A Way For Me To Be Tested

Will know soon.

[DanieRains]

17. He Wanted Me Tested Checked 3 Times Said They Were Short On Tests

Wants me to stay home and let him know if I develop more symptoms.

Keep taking temperature.

Went to pharmacy to get prescription for cough and bought their last thermometer. A girl came up and asked for a thermometer. They told her sold out. I felt bad and let her use mine. She was ok. I have alcohol swsbs. Will clean.

My temp is ok.
