Coronavirus - Covid-19 - Denied Testing
Updated:
I have a family member who is claiming she had symptoms of COVID-19, went to the hospital, they told her she probably had it without testing her and then sent her home to her husband and two young girls. How is that possible?!
Oh dear. Both of my kids have mild symptoms - high temperature and coughing. I don’t have symptoms but I have had contact with patients who tested positive for COVID-19. Lack of testing for NHS staff means I won’t know for sure and can’t continue working. Shifts cancelled.
Just realised I’m now at day 26 of having coronavirus symptoms. Where have the days gone?? Wondering which will come first... the symptoms to cease or me meeting the criteria to test (as I don’t have a high fever). And I know I only have it moderate but it feels just awful.
So like, there’s a chance that I have the Coronavirus. I can’t get tested until I have all symptoms. I have 3 of 5.
From February 25 until March 12 I had every symptom including a high fevers of 105 cough and inability to move around of COVID-19 I have asked Allina Health my medical provider if I can be tested now and they said since I don’t have active symptoms- NO-if I gave it to you sorry
1st day of self isolation as doctor thinks I might have mild coronavirus symptoms and its only 3 hrs 25 mins going stir crazy already gonna be a long 7 days
811 informed me that I need to see a doctor based on my symptoms but that she cannot refer me to one because I have no proof that I came in contact with someone with COVID-19. For the record I don't think I have it either, but I'm shocked at the lack of testing in Alberta.
Was denied a COVID-19 testing even though I have symptoms... the dr wasn’t thorough and rushed me out, I cannot breathe and not even a flu test done. He didn’t even tell me to quarantine, just gave me an inhaler and sent me on my way. This was a waste of my time
So I still have all the symptoms of coronavirus and can’t get tested. So yeah that’s how my life is going.
GP thinks I have Covid-19 & I'm probably 3 weeks+ since infection as I've had chest symptoms for two weeks. I had a fever on 7th March so it may even be longer. Sadly there's no possibility of a test so it could also be a bacterial infection. Just need to watch out for rashes.
