To be clear, when it comes to establishing just how many are getting sick and who has it, this effectively dysfunction incarnate. The height of the US being unprepared to deal with the BASIC need to test those who actually have all the symptoms.

And what if one my friends god forbid starts feeling the same way but they also can’t get a test, all because they didn’t TEST ME in turn. This is utter hilarity of testing standards not fitting how fast this all moves.

The non-confirmation can just go on and on and on with all of us. Which sucks because the solution with my doctor is that we still just “treat as though it is.”

I’m in good shape enough that I can get through. I just continue my long quarantine. Not interact with a soul. And yes, this could also just be another strain of flu not in the flu shot. OF COURSE. But it sucks feeling completely helpless and unsure with Schroedinger’s Covid.

I have enough food and things for next few days, but already I’m worried about straining friends - and the ransacking going on in supermarkets. I just tried to buy groceries online and it’s impossible. They’re out. But the real thing I’m thinking about…

Is right now, how many people across the country are in this same position where they’re sick w/ close symptoms and unsure? Is even talking about this online irresponsible and fear stoking? Is NOT mentioning that this is happening irresponsible?

Am I being paranoid or not paranoid enough? I dunno. I’m tired and my whole body hurts. Be safe out there <3

To those saying, "there's a chance this just the flu, too." Oh I absolutely know. I said as much. This is the base problem of confusion. Same goes for actually knowing if I had it or not for when this later blows up and I wonder if I can expose myself or not. Schrödinger's Covid

Replying to @FilmCritHULK
Best hope is that they will be able to develop a test to check for antibodies so at least at some point in the future they will be able to test if you have had it... assuming they'll be allowed to give you the test, of course. Stay Hulk strong. Thank you for sharing your story.

That's the thing that's getting me. After I get through this, am I safe to go out around people? Am I not safe? No idea!

Replying to @FilmCritHULK @Alanfalcon
I think there's really not much information about it given the virus is so new. So far we know the virus can linger in the body for a couple of weeks after the symptoms are gone, so isolation and lots of cleaning is recommended, since some people got sick again after a few weeks.
