41. I have been sick on and off since late January

Fri Mar 27, 2020, 01:10 AM

Mar 2020

three docs and no test. Worse lung involvement started last week. I have been resting and doing what I can. One of my docs did bw last week and wbc is good so he thinks it is not covid. He said if I have an emergency for what he treats me for he can treat it without going to hospital.

There is a drive through test near us but by appt only. To be honest I am going to weather this out for now, I think I am feeling a bit better today. I could easily have another emergency and I would be scared to go to the hospital with everything going on. Most doctors are closed now. I am terrified of what things will look like in two weeks. I or my father can easily end up at the er without covid at any time. I wish we were in Canada right now. A lot of people are going to die because of dumpster, not only covid related.

Someone needs to make a cheap at home test that is fast. Available to anyone without rx etc. Then you order it online and test yourself etc.

I am just staying inside and hoping for the best. The weather has been terrible here for lung stuff, I was going for walks before I got worse and I think they made me worse.

My county is up to 2735 pos tests and 20 deaths.
