Well, that was a rough weekend 
Woke up Sat w/ high fever, low SpO2, chest pain, & rapidly got worse. I'm sharing my stats from day 1 to give y'all a sense of how f**king fast the onset was.
This was def not the flu...

My partner came over (yes, breaking quarantine for love) and took me to the ER. Tested negative for COVID19. They sent me home by 1am.
I basically slept all day Sunday...

The attending doctor told me the tests are only 70% (
) accurate and I should continue to quarantine as though I have COVID19. Just come back if symptoms get worse!
So I googled. It checks out. https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/false-negatives-raise-doctors-doubts-about-coronavirus-tests/ar-BB12uwHS

What does "get worse" mean? -- if I'm vomiting too much to keep fluids down, or I really can't breathe at all. Yikes.

My stats are better today, though I'm exhausted after just taking a shower.
The floor seemed like a fine place to rest for a bit while I tweet this
Please, everyone, stay home, stay safe, and wear a mask!

Update: I'm back to being a mostly-functional humanoid!
Though I'm still winded pretty easily, and clearly my lungs arent at 100% yet ... I am able to get in some gentle exercises again! Feels so good to go for a walk in the sunshine
