COVID19 Day Three

On Day Three I feel better again. If I had a job and I wasn’t contagious I’d go to work. I’m not 100% but I feel okay. I had a Telemedicine call with my doctor yesterday and it was reassuring. He recommended not trying to get a test since it wouldn’t change the treatment. There is a chance that in the next few days the virus will infect my lungs in which case I will experience trouble breathing and if that happens I should go to the emergency room. If I start to cough up green phlegm call his office.

There is an excellent article in the WSJ this morning titled How the Coronavirus Attacks Your Body you may need a subscription to get past the firewall. Basically it confirms what Dr Nebelsieck told me: 80% of people recover after the mild flu symptoms I’ve experienced so far. I expect to be in that group.
