If you feel some of the worst symptoms early on, don't think you're over it if they fade away a few days in. They can come back much worse, and you need to keep doing the right things all the way through just in case. Right now it's just congestion. No other symptoms really. I don't think it's COVID, honestly. 3 minutes ago, vikesfan89 said: Why'd you send your 3 year old to school? We didn't really have a choice. My wife is a teacher.

We don't know it's COVID right now. Good thing we have this 2-4 day delay in testing, so we can be expedient about warning people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you don't know now but I didn't know if you've reached out to other parents to ask if anyone is sharing symptoms like you are. I dunno, I just feel if I were in your shoes, I'd be impatient and trying to grasp at any info I could while waiting for results. More importantly though, how are you today? Have things gotten worse?

Same reason a lot of people sent their kids back I’d imagine, they need to so they can work. It’s not a great answer, but there are a lot of problems without great solutions right now. oops, didn’t see his response right above.

I hope it's not dude. Take care of yourselves. My wife is also a teacher and I believe she caught it from her pupils. We each had all of the symptoms but out children didn't appear to show any at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve taken care of someone on an insulin drip in an ICU due to DKA and walked in on them eating a candy bar and drinking a 20oz Coke. On. An. Insulin. Drip. And let’s be honest, many people don’t even think this is a thing. If you think it’s a hoax, are you going to then go get tested? In hindsight, I wish I did get tested but when I had my whatever in late May, I didn't know the symptoms I had (extremely similar to rob_shadows' minus loss of senses) could be covid. I always thought you had to have a fever (I got a little high but nothing above 99.3). I always thought there was coughing involved. I had none. I always thought there was shortness of breath. I only had the shortness of breath but it wasn't anything alarming. I just noticed I would be a little more drained after taking my dog on a walk but I was still able to do it and not be on the struggle bus afterwards or even that wiped. So we have to keep that in mind as well. Knowing what I know now, I would undoubtedly go get tested. You know what Ohio is like in the early spring. One day it's 20° and the next it's 55° then back to 25 the next day. I never get sick but if I do, it's usually around that time. My body doesn't like that **** too much lol. I just chalked it up to a mild flu, was better in a week and went about my usual day. Excuse my rambling but just providing examples on why some people wouldn't get tested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over here you are a pupil until you start university (college to you clunges) whereupon you become a student. Until you graduate, where you live with mum and dad until you are about 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I’d like to say I’d get tested but I’m prolly not gonna go to an urgent care every time I have some minor cold symptoms if I’m being totally honest. Should I? Yeah, probably. Would I advise others? Probably. But, I do dumb stuff too. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally took 4 minutes, plus my drive time. I didn't have to get out my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So are they good on testing capability now? Anyone can get a test that wants one? Honestly I'd feel dumb getting tested unless I had major symptoms or new that I was exposed to someone who had it. I don't know if I've gone 2 weeks without some sort of symptom since this all began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
