Just to be clear people, don’t just go to the doctor if you think you might have coronavirus — call first and seek their professional recommendation. They may want to come to you to do a swab, rather than have people randomly walking in and possibly infecting others.
- yodsanklai 7y ago> if you think you might have coronavirus Actually, very few people have reasons to think they have the coronavirus now. Of course, if you come back from an infected area, you should be extra careful and follow standard procedures defined by your local government. Right now most people with flu symptoms simply have a cold or the flu, and not the wuhan virus. I've just listened to an interview of a French doctor and what is happening now is that hospitals are getting overwhelmed with regular people who want to be tested for the coronavirus. The coronavirus isn't that different from a regular flu virus in terms of care. Mostly, you just need to stay home waiting for it to pass (and of course avoid infecting others). Only people with severe symptoms should go to the hospital.
