February 27th: Start to feel weak and feverish, did not check temperature, but my head and eyes were burning worse than I ever had, felt like a bad sunburn. In Bucks County, PA. No cases around me so far, so nobody takes me seriously.All weekend I am either laying in bed, having sweating episodes and burning up, with a horrible headache. Comes in waves, gets better and comes back. This lasts until the following Monday where I leave work early and go to an Urgent Care. I tell them my symptoms: headache, dizzy, feverish, sore throat, and shortness of breath. They give me a test for Strep and Flu, both negative. And they suspiciously give me cough medicine even though I never said nor did I cough there. They knew what it was but wouldnt test or suggest it to me. And I did cough a few days later. Those liars knew so they didnt scare anybody. About 5 others came in with the same symptoms and they kicked a few out.All that week my symptoms somewhat get better, except for the cough getting terrible and my head being a bit warm with chills in my lower body. They say not feverish, but even if it wasn't (and I never get fevers, I've gotten hives instead, even when I had Scarlet Fever) I barely get any. Start to feel a little better the following week, excpet for occasional coughing and harder to breathe.Thursday March 12th: Symptoms hit harder than before. Gasping for air, headache and I become red. Painful to breathe. I ask to leave work early since they said anybody sick can go home. So I directly go back to the Urgent Care after 2 weeks since the last time. They have a sign saying "If you have a cough, fever and shortness of breath, call from your car because you may have Coronavirus". I guess I should have done that, but I was threatened being fired from my job. After going in, they put me on a Nebulizer and I finally feel air coming into my lungs. Still hurts to do a big breathe, but feel better until I get it off. So they listen to my chest and hear congestion, thinking bronchitis or pneumonia and give me antibiotics. I truly know at this point I have/had Coronavirus, so I ask the doctor about tests or who to call, and he said "You're not sick enough". That makes this whole point useless, so somehow everyone can get sick, but they can't go to get even checked.Today: my breathing is worse, my wife has the same breathing issues and nothing else. My mom and grandmother has coughing. But nobody else thinks it is this, excpet for "trust the doctors" who won't even consider it as a possibility unless you say you travelled anywhere. This is complete b******t, because I know its this, a flu or bronchitis doesn't make you almost fall over and gasp for air 2 weeks afterwards to a 22 year old. So I go to a different urgent care because I wanted to see how they would act to it. They don't think it's coronavirus because "I didn't travel" and think I'm lying about the pain. I feel better on a nebulizer again, but getting off it hurts and I choke. They do an AKG and xrays and tell me I have nothing wrong except for possible Bronchitis and if it gets worse, go to the ER.Doctor's can't get test kits and please, I need one and help. They don't take me seriously because I'm young. The country will gk into turmoil if this is how they really treat it. Act like it's not a thing to my age and tell me I'm fine. I'm not. And I can't even get extra time off. I was even told the ERs around here only help older patients and stillw on't check for the disease. This is pathetic. | Symptoms: Fever, Headache, Dizziness, Chills, Other, Gas, Sore Throat, Sweating, Cough, Shortness of Breath, Congestion
