just had a scare of my life / myLot

Philippines

September 9, 2020 6:37am CST

Yesterday was something unexpected happening when we finished our weekly zoom meeting. l was busy doing my job at home when l felt itchy on my nose then l started sneezing then later in the evening l had already slight fever. Today came much worse as the fever continues to bother me. l have isolated myself already to be sure and if this fever won’t subside l will be looking for a doctor to check me up and probably be swab tested since l have 2 symptoms of covid infection. Hopefully this will be an ordinary flu and not that dreaded virus.

Try not to stress too much, may be it's only a flu, but you are doing the right thing isolating yourself.

@rsa101 Until you are not sure that it's not Covid, it is better to auto quarantine.

@LadyDuck Went to the hospital today to be swab tested. l would say it is not a good feeling to swabbed since they took sample from innermost prt of your throat and nose. l would get results within 3-5 days. Good thing our health insurance covered it up.

yep it was kind of a shock that things happened so rapidly and l got deteriorated in just a matter of days. l have myself swabbed already and will get the results in a couple or more days. l hope it not positive.

That's what I fear every time I got outside or when my mom colleague pays a visit. we don't know if were going to be infected. every time i get a sore throat, sneeze, flu it scares me.

True although admittedly l was with several places these past few days. l was properly wearing all the necessary precautions so l am hoping l did not get it but just an ordinary colds and flu virus
