Here's a guy who's an expert on COVID-19 because he reads the internet. If you have symptoms that feel like death I am telling you to discount this persons' advice, get yourself to the doctor because you may very well be dying.
Also a site that's just better:
https://www.zocdoc.com/about/coronavirus-covid-19-2/ https://www.zocdoc.com/about/coronavirus-covid-19-2/
Here's the advice from this site:
>Contact your primary care provider before going to their office. Be sure to let them know if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has coronavirus, or if you’ve recently traveled to an area where the virus is spreading, whether or not you have symptoms. If you don’t have a doctor to contact, you can also reach out to your local board of health.
^^that up there is proper advice.
- mnw21cam 7y ago> ...get yourself to the doctor... Every single bit of advice we have been handed out the last few weeks is trying to get the message out - Do not physically go to your doctor if you suspect you have this illness. Do not turn up at hospital. Stay at home and telephone the doctors to inform them of what you think you have, and to get advice on what to do next. If you are feeling OK, telephone the non-emergency numbers. If you are feeling like you're about to die, telephone the emergency numbers.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoWhere on the site does it say telephone your doctor to determine whether or not you should go? Nothing. Horrible site.
- icebraining 7y ago> If you have symptoms that feel like death I am telling you to discount this persons' advice, get yourself to the doctor because you may very well be dying. No, as the advice you cite subsequently says, you should NOT get yourself to a doctor, you should call them. Which is consistent with staying the fuck home.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoBuddy if you're dying, go to the doctor, but make sure to call first.
- icebraining 7y agoNo. Call them and they'll tell you what to do.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoIsn't that what I just said? If you're dying call them, and what they will tell you is to come in. That's what the medical system does when you're dying.
- elcomet 7y agoThe advice on the site is "stay at home if you're not sick (or not dangerously sick)". Of course it's not "stay home even if you're dying".
- crimsonalucard 7y agoThe site needs to mention this.
