That is frightening. So sorry you have to endure constant exposure. I have a lot of respect for those who have little choice in the matter. I am really surprised to hear you don't have more PPE than that. I hope you are able to be tested soon. Keeping a good thought for you.

My symptoms were: (1) recurring fevers that lasted 4 to 6 hours, repeated every other day for over a week, (2) difficulty balancing when walking, and (3) diarrhea. This was in March before testing was available. I was quarantined and monitored remotely from my local hospital. The symptoms lasted about 2 weeks. After 2 weeks without symptoms I was released from quarantine.

I hope you get tested very soon. Please keep hydrated and consider zinc, vitamin D3 and vitamin c. Contact your primary care physician and make sure they know what's going on.

I am self quarantining because I spent some time with a friend last Monday who tested positive that next Wednesday but I have no symptoms.

My age would be very much against me if I contacted it. I hope to hear soon that you tested negative.

I'm so sorry you're going through this, but thanks for letting us know. I haven't had it but have watched some friends and family with it, and sometimes it turns out fairly mild. I hope that's what happens with yours, if it turns out that's what it is.

I am so sorry to hear this. I never developed the cough. Mine was gut, extreme headache, absurdly high BP, and fatigue with sporadic fever.

Seriously, go get a test done. I found the urgent cares in MO more accessible for testing. I called around and found a rapid test and drove there. It protects your status with your employer and gives you something to tell medical personnel if it gets worse and you have to get help.

This disease picks and chooses, there's no guarantees. Attempt to keep your viral load low is the best defense. Also, be sure to keep your vitamin D levels up, D3 is the most bioavailable. Vitamin C and zinc helps. If you can, try to sleep on your stomach to attempt to keep it out of organs. That was the hardest part for me. Keep in touch. It's survivable and many don't have bad symptoms. It could be a bad cold like you said. Keep an eye on loss of taste and smell. That's a big sign.

I am clear so far but now I'm worried about you, although it sounds like you've done everything possible to protect yourself. I would inform your employer of your symptoms asap. I'm real sorry Paul and I hope you will keep us posted on your condition. Hang in there.
