Got a call from the county’s director of Public Health and had to give her a list of all the places I’ve spent more than 15 minutes at for the last two weeks. She recommended my wife go get tested early this week and just to call her if anything changes in my condition. So far, all I felt was this afternoon I was outside sitting on the patio talking to the wife and kid when I just got hot and weak and needed to go inside. Felt like I was going to throw up.
Covid-19 has a wide range of presentations from no symptoms to potentially life threatening. Most patients are experiencing respiratory symptoms like you would expect with a cold or the flu. Some experience symptoms more consistent with what people associate with “food poisoning” such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
You’re family should probably be tested and you should take the same precautions as if you had the flu to reduce their chance of becoming infected if they aren’t already.
You need to self isolate for at least 10 days from the start of your symptoms and be fever free for three days and the majority of your symptoms need to be resolved before resuming your normal activities such as work, etc.
