The CDC website says that unless you are having emergency symptoms, like trouble breathing, to stay at home until you feel better. How is a layman supposed to know the threshold of when they need hospitalization, vs when they should just tough it out and hope they get better?

The advice is clearly to engage with medical professionals remotely as soon as possible, and their judgement of your symptoms will determine if and when you need to actually go to a hospital.
