Well I decided to drive last weekend. I live in Morris County and worked Morristown and other areas. No one was out except Saturday for St. Patrick’s Day. I drove a few hospital workers to work and one guy who coughed up a storm.

two days later I am coughing I have a fever and respiratory problems. I go get tested for the FLU and it’s negative.

I call the number for covid testing and they said ‘just wait it out’ I also got referred to get x rays due to ‘crackling in my chest’ but because I have 3-4 symptoms of COVID-19 they said I couldn’t come in

today I found a place that does testing and I got screened and they immediately said I needed testing.

2-4 days for results. If you are still driving I would be careful. I was that person who was not taking it seriously. Now I am in quarrantine

Wait, wait, wait! You drove someone who works in a hospital and they were coughing like crazy, yet they were out and about? If you do have it, and it's from that PAX, I would irate.

Seriously hope you are negative you should call your doctor and get antibiotics for a number of possible lung disorders that can also harm or kill you. They won't help for CV but getting a jump on it if you don't have cv won't hurt.

Big mistake to continue driving pax that was coughing. Why didn't you kick them out immediately? COVID19 or not, I would not drive ANYONE who is sick, whether it's this year, last year, or 2016.
I am 41 for the person who asked

they coughed towards the end and actually said it don't have that virus' right before I dropped them off. This was earlier last week things weren't AS crazy then. I have no idea who or where I could have contacted it from also I am not confirmed yet. They said 2-4 days but I heard it's faster if you are positive

I have antibiotics thanks. They seemed to get fever down today (99.8 today) the urgent care who tested me for flu yesterday prescribed me this

I would never pick anyone who I thought was sick.

How you feeling today?
I am ok right now. I have a huge headache that hasn't gone away it keeps comin back. no more High fever and chills. I drove myself to testing center Today bc I had no other choice and my head felt out of it. A little cloudy / dizzy
When I get up and walk I also get dizzy. I had a cough but it's not constant and it does hurt a little when I cough. It just feels like flu really

Did you get a Flu shot? Headache is definitely a symptom of Flu even though they said you did not have it...
I did in January yes

Just hoping for a negative result they screened me pretty hard at first yesterday they just said stay home and wait it out. That was a different place the urgent care gave me number for
Then today I got it they did it right in my car (swab)

not even sure what happens if I am positive

Good luck and make a quick recovery.. also don't use any ibuprofen for symptoms - they make the coronavirus worse, ALOT worse.
