I tested Positive for COVID here is my story

Azithromycin induces anti-viral effects...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4923851/

I didn't know this either. Thought I would share.

I wish the OP had taken the Z-Pak from the beginning.

Read the French study. (Daily ECG)

That's my guess, too. Has to be Atl.

OP, hope you continue to recover and your family is safe.

Hey doc, I'll make sure to avoid choosing you as my next PCP. I've had hundreds of asthmatic patients over the years and I wouldn't wish that + COVID on my worst enemy. Shi**y combination, to say the least. Have you ever tried drowning? Maybe try it sometime and you'll know what they feel like. I"m thankful I've never experienced it and likely never will but what a scary fuggin thing to go through. i'm impressed he didn't call an ambulance, try giving the OP some fuggin credit. LCR message board, proving yet again that there's one moran on every thread (at least).

Except...the OP described that he experienced some pretty severe symptoms, so your argument falls a bit flat.

So serious that they sent him home twice, then kept him for observation due to the coronavirus scare, and then sent him home again. He had nothing that required him to be in a hospital, as determined by health care professionals on three occasions.

My point remains, absent the coronavirus paranoia, he had no need to go to a hospital, and certainly not three times.... People like him are going to needlessly overburden a system that does not need paranoid sick people who should just stay home.

DUH!

makes it particularly interesting that people are accepting this story from some anonymous stranger on the internet at face value. If a troll job, it's a good one.

yes, because some guy is going to actually call WeJo and talk on the phone with him at length, plus divulge who he is, what his pr's are, etc. Moran. -good thing my previous post mentioned "at least" one moran on each thread. thanks BW for proving that to be correct.

Did you keep running/exercising after starting to feel symptoms? That seems to be in vogue now, but I always wonder if people compromise their immune systems.

Incidences like these make me wonder why so many people in the wealthiest country on earth would be so viscerally opposed to government-provided healthcare. It doesn't even have to go as far as the progressive ideal of 'medicare for all', which, if you ask me, is just common sense. How about the option to ensure all their fellow citizens have medical cover? Why would any normal human being be against that?

Firstly ,OP thanks for sharing, and kudos for trusting your gut on how you felt and insisting on testing.

Listen to the following recount of an infected guy, very well articulated. Its 8 min long, but listen through as he makes quite good points about the issue and the modern society.

so, are you mad, and if you're who you're implying you are, is that why you're allowing stalking on your forums?

So does he get a singlet Wejo?

I never once thought of going to the hospital. If I had, the chances are that they would have killed me.

This is incredibly dumb, and you sound like an idiot for honestly believing it to the extent that you'd post it in a public forum.

Shut up, clown. Just because you're consistently and thoroughly wrong on the severity of this doesn't grant you full commentary privileges on a story involved a dude who literally proves 90% of the garbage you've posted wrong.

Is this covered by your medical cover? Or do you know how much it will cost you all this medical care?

At clinic, we are triaging asthma/COPD patients as high risk and so should be tested for COVID considering high risk for subsequent hospitalization. In this case, if anything, the original poster was potentially saving the system thousands of dollars in higher level care (ICU) by promptly and diligently presenting to urgent care for assessment and treatment.

Thanks for the story, OP.

Just curious- were you on a daily steroid for your asthma when you were infected? If not, do you think it would have helped?

Thanks.

This is from the most left wing media source.

20% of cases require hospitalization. Why would you think it's a good idea to minimize that?

What is absolutely FRIGHTENING is that this happened in early MARCH..and docs werent even testing someone who showed all the classic symptoms of Covid19.

WOW!!

I really think we are in serious trouble now that more cases are starting to show up in ERs around the country.

Where are the tests??

People should be screaming everywhere about this.

CNN wrote the article, not me. We have had 12,000 deaths in the world but 13 million from other preventable causes such as starvation, shootings, heart disease, malaria, etc. Why didn't we shut down our country to save 13 million?
