I think I have covid-19

[Kim Jong-Un's Pajama Pants]

That is the right way of doing it before spreading it all around. Not all who catch it from you will be able to cope with it the same way as you.

Alas symptoms tend to be symptoms shared by many other things.  Yes, even during covid, something else can cause these symptoms.  I would probably start with a test and go from there.

That's right.  Also you ultimately do not want to overwhelm the healthcare system and minimizing panic is important in that case.

I have a feeling Covid is the new scapegoat, excuse, fall guy etc for every untimely death.

My fever now graduated to the shaking one

[Kadudu]

Pole sana.
Kindly stay at home before spreading it around. These are typical symptoms of covid infection. Drink a lot of herbal tea and take some medicine against flu.

My fever now graduated to the shaking one

My fever now graduated to the shaking one

Just remember that it can spike one minute and then stabilize the next, That is the nature of the virus. overall it should trend downwards. I have read of a few who have had symptoms for a year.  Thye are in a brain fog.

Antigen test came negative but still feeling terrible..oxygen levels 93

   Rv be careful especially with those tests in Kenya.  I got tested last Monday for my flight back to Boston for Thursday and got a negative result only to test positive when I arrived here on Friday.  So far am managing it but the headache is killing me.  Get an oximeter and check your oxygen concentration often.  Anything below 92% check yourself into the emergency room.  Wish you well sir.

How reliable are these tests? I know in the beginnimg it was 60%. Get well Mankind. I am glad I held back on my trip to Ke. I just do not want to risk it.

I think you got it in between the tests. I've seen that many times.

covid PCR test seem not standardized. Countries and jurisdictions seem to be operating at different thureshold pcr cycle count...

[RV Pundit]

Okay no improvement. Oxygen 94.I have no appetite. This thing now serious

[mankind]

 Pundit you need to get a chest x-ray to make sure your lungs are ok. I had to go to the emergency room because of the headaches but my oxygen levels and temperature are normal.  I  was put on a strong painkiller for 5 days.  I  feel better today and even took a walk.  You might have to be on a breathing treatment of some sort. Don't take a chance on this thing sir.

Oh my God, pole sana my dearest RVP 

From what you've said it doesn't sound like Covid but pneumonia caused by cold. Pneumonia for the common cold comes gradually and takes weeks to months to recover. I recommend Tamiflu.

If it was Covid at the pneumonia stage and rarely does it get to this stage unlike the common cold, you would be in hospital on ventilators because it deteriorates rapidly however you don't fit the profile of Covid at pneumonia stage, tends to be very elderley and those with preexisting conditions.

Anyway, please eat lots, my prayers are with you even though I'm certain you're ok, please take care. x

Thats Covid based on description. Loss of taste and smell...thats Covid. Been there. Had to check myself in Sinai medical, LA. Check yourself in ASAP before major damage to internal organs.

Do smoothies and supplements.  Not eating is counterproductive.
