Given the prevalence of Long Covid in asymptomatic cases, many people claim that the severity of the initial disease and the long-term symptoms are not really correlated. So it's likely that seeking emergency care wouldn't have changed anything.
Wishing you the best of luck and a good/complete recovery!

I had a Covid positive coworker last year cough around me and directly work very closely with me immediately before taking sick time. I still continued to fail the antibody tests indicating either no viral contact or no immune response of any kind. I don’t know if there is a correlation here but in a six month period last year I caught the common cold three times. The second of those times was a month before my coworker tested positive and the third time was a week after they tested positive.

- bserge 5y agoYou will test positive for antibodies for months after infection. Kind of the whole point of the immune system and the vaccine. Contrary to some beliefs, Covid doesn't spread by people looking, touching or talking to each other. The latter has a higher chance, though. It's highly likely you've never gotten it from your coworker. Assuming you mean antibody blood tests, I don't know anyone who would willingly take several of them in a short time.
