Good luck and stay safe. If your doctor thinks you should be at the hospital, may be a good idea to follow suit. I had similar symptoms, but milder, and ended up with pneumonia and antibiotics. So take care of that.

Have Someone keep a close eye on you. I won’t say much for privacy reasons but some people go downhill fast with hypoxia symptoms and then don’t have the sense they need to go (or ability to get themselves) to the hospital because of how hypoxia effects your decision making and ability to function.
Without a blood-ox sensor you have no way to see when you’re not processing oxygen properly (one of the results of covid) but there are symptoms others will see.
if i were you, i would go. or at the very least as PP suggested, have someone monitor you continuously.
Appreciate what everyone is saying.
I truly don't think it's corona but did the test to be on the safe side.
I don't think my condition is bad enough to go to the hospital.
Today woke up with a massive headache and neck pains. Only thing I'm stumped on is the random body pains.

Well I don't know about you, but I always considered the difference between an influenza and and just a sinus cold is the body aches and pains that accompany the influenza
Last night on TVO I listened to some farm association leaders discus their situation and dilemmas.
While there should be the same number of people eating about the same amount of food the shifts, due to closed restaurants and lower gas prices, have changed the patterns. Ethanol demand is down due to gas prices. That means farmers that grew corn will lose markets. The mash left over from the ethanol production was used as animal feed so a ripple effect.
Beef and milk is in oversupply and if herds are culled they can't be rebuilt by flicking a switch. I gathered there was an oversupply of eggs as well.
If every farmer switched to wheat production the glut could hammer prices. They can't wait a month or two to decide.
I'm putting Spam on my shopping list.

The drugs that were so publicly touted by the orange one seem to be turning out a big fat fail when studied properly. Newspaper article, but it links to their (multiple) sources.

Malaria drugs fail to help coronavirus patients in controlled studies
Hydroxychloroquine, the drug President Trump hailed as a coronavirus killer, had no beneficial effect for COVID-19 patients in two controlled trials.

German results showed this a while back but no one took any notice. They had the least fatalities and the least use of anti-malarials.
Very very worrying news out of Japan today. Large jump in cases there in a society that traditionally is very cautious but Shinzo Abe has been taking a Trump-like pro economy stance. That kind of approach is being shown to be extremely dangerous.

There were lots of reports that Japan was cooking the results and not taking proper steps early trying to save the Olympics. It is also a culture with a heavy "saving face" element, neither bodes well for a good outcome.
I wonder if some of the "Bubbas" down south would understand the situation better if it was related to feral hogs destroying fields. The more you ignore the problem the worse it gets. Let'em breed and it'll burn through. Enjoy the deserts afterwards.
No, these types are experiential. Once they see it happening close to home they may change their mind. Before that everything is a conspiracy.
There already is a lot of sorry ass people. They are buried in mass graves in NY.
they are saying the sun kills the virus? i'm wondering if that has anything to do with the low numbers. i know this is a copy and paste so no flaming
Sunlight destroys virus quickly, new govt. tests find, but experts say pandemic could last through summer
Preliminary results from government lab experiments show that the coronavirus does not survive long under high-temperature, high-humidity conditions, and is quickly destroyed by sunlight, providing evidence from controlled tests of what scientists believed — but had not yet proved — to be true.
And the non-whites. This may be a clear win for the maga crowd

That's one of my peeves -- sniffles at Emergency. I live near Markham-Stouffville hospital and have had to use emergency for a couple of self inflicted injuries and countless times when I took injured hockey players in for broken this and that. 1/2 the people in the ER have sniffles and tooth aches. I remember when I lived in the US, if you had a family doctor issue and showed up at the ER the triage nurse would turn you away to a walk-in clinic.
I can't imagine the cost our healthcare system bears when someone feels they are special and need to visit a hospital when they have a sniffle or an injury that just needs a bandaid.

I think Bubba loves the feral hog. No licence, no closed season, free bacon & sausage. And a good reason to own an AR-15.
It used to be that a person needing a vaccine for a travel issue would go to emergency at the last minute. I think it was free when their MD charged and they had to wait. F them miss the trip or die. Just don't come home sick.
