(58,785 posts)Wishing you all the best and remembering that quacking ourselves is never that. I was in your position in late May while the first big spike was calming.
Fever, some difficulty breathing, that dry Covid cough, chest pain with breathing, and a chest x-ray suggestive of possible blood clot. All completely unusual for me
But our rural community hospital had already mostly emptying out, beds no longer in the halls big difference. I was admitted to a Covid ward really believing that was probably it, and transferred out when I tested negative. My first pneumonia ever, but then pneumonia is also a Major killer, Most deaths from covid and flu related to pneumonia. three days of intravenous anabiotics and then discharge to finish.
This is the kind of thing I want to hear of for you, Or better than yet that the ER triage people decided you could be best treated at home. Remember, the hospitals are going not going to become less busy for a long while.
