COVID-19 Megathread 3: Third time's a charm

OK Russian Bear I am done with you and the constant trolling and derailing, consider this your last warning.

Is Russian Bear a new member or just the "reincarnation" of an old one?

Good for him. Seeing how low the California numbers are it seems to me than Newsom is doing overall a very good job.

Morning, y'all.  

Feeling noticeably worse than yesterday.  My temperature is up around 1.2*F/-17*C from twelve hours ago, though my body has gone from feeling overheated to feeling cold -- haven't been able to stop shivering all morning.  I've also been sweating profusely. A persistent and non-productive cough woke me up at least three times last night and I'm experiencing pretty moderate muscle soreness.  

No headache or noteworthy GI discomfort; no issues with my sinuses.  No anosmia or dysgeusia, either.  

Vitals look okay other than temp: (102.2*F/38.0*C, BP 92/65, resting pulse 58 bpm).  Borderline hypotension probably because I'm a bit dehydrated from sweating and just not drinking enough water, though I've always been prone to low blood pressure and marginal bradycardia -- thank you dance and soccer.  Breathing isn't producing any crackles or wheezing.  

Still not all that concerned at this point in time.  But, in short: this s*** sucks.  

EDIT: Even though my symptoms are not personally a cause for alarm, I'm about to call the doctor I see when I'm here in PA to (a) get the ball rolling should my symptoms worsen and (b) see if he recommends that I get tested.  

That's something that I'll recommend to anybody reading this who is experiencing symptoms that potentially line up with a positive case.  Even if those symptoms are not severe enough to warrant a visit to the ER or extra medical treatment, don't wait until they reach that point before calling your doctor.  Yes, things are likely chaotic for your PCP right now, but he/she is here to help.  

Get well soon! Hope this is not covid19. We have one poster already, that's enough.

Chest is sore this morning.  Starting to feel some pain during inspiration.  

It could be because of the cough.
