I went to my doctor quick smart who said I had bronchitis already and prescribed anti-biotics and a decongestant. Within 3 days I was much better cough wise but tired for 2 weeks.

With hindsight I wonder now whether it was covid..maybe, maybe not. The doctor said the next stage is pneumonia if it is not controlled. Don't want to unnecessarily scare members but whether or not you decide to get tested, I urge you to not delay seeking treatment if you develop chest/breathing issues..sounds like this thing can move very fast.
If AB's fixed you it was a bacterial infection, not viral. AB's aint fixing Covid-19 severe symptoms.

I'm not a doctor but AFAIK often (not always) viruses can, in turn trigger bacterial infections.. Whether it's the flu, covid or other respiratory disease, they can lead to bronchitus (inflammation of the bronchial tubes) or pneumonia (lung infection). Isn't that what covid patients are needing ventilators for and dying of?

I had a high fever, chills and body pins and needles before the cough set in. That's from a virus not a bacterial infection, no?

It's called a secondary infection and it's treated with antibiotics. The problem is so far antibiotics have not reduced the number of people clearing covid-19 in trials.

Of course antibiotics are ineffective against viruses. That is well known. However it is precisely the secondary infections and/or together with compromised immune systems that some people have due to pre-existing conditions that is leading to covid 19 tiggered deaths.

Compromised immune system? Most serious patients don't have compromised immune systems but suffer from an immune system in overdrive attacking their own body resulting in a cytokinin storm. That's why in these days patients get dexamethasone or similar to reduce the reaction of the immune system.

FYI to the OP: you can go to Damko market (near Mao Tse Tung/Charles de Gaulle). New test there, results in 30 minutes. Wife's sister and brother-in-law went today as they said anyone who had been to the market up until the 5th should be tested. Both negative luckily.

So if you want quick peace of mind it's an option (just tell people you're going to Damko market for a test).

OK, I meant people with pre existing conditions eg heart issues, diabetes, kidney issues, obesity, smokers, athsma etc that therefore find it harder to fight covid and hence at higher risk of dying from covid.

That sounds like a lateral flow test. The rate of false positives is reportedly quite high and should always be confirmed by a PCR test.

Let's add a little more to this, just to put us all in a safer thought, If the covid19 virus was laid dormient at the time of a PCR test would it show the virus?

Are dormant carriers of COVID-19 the primary cause of spike in global infections?

Authorities around the world have claimed that COVID-19 coronavirus can be contained by quarantining individuals who show any flu-like symptoms as per the guidelines given by the World Health Organization (WHO).

However, new patterns of infections suggest that dormant carriers of the infection, i.e., people who may be carrying the infection but do not show symptoms could be the primary contact points among people who find themselves infected or develop symptoms.

The symptoms in question include fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. This made the job of healthcare officials easier, for it implied isolating people with symptoms. However, with this new development, it becomes harder to trace who may be carrying the virus and to whom it may have spread.

They announced that mild cases would be sent at home as they don't have enough beds to hold everyone (including mild/asymptomatic cases). Also some info as to where/when to go if symptoms worsen.

The most likely outcome would be the apartment building being cordoned off, but that won't make any difference to anyone given the current lockdown situation. So your neighbours won't hate you... They also now have rapid (30 min) tests. Not sure if they'd use them on a walk-in, but something to consider. They do let you take possessions/clothing in the unlikely event that they send you to a positive case center. But yeah, stop thinking about possible ramifications and get tested. Aren't you curious? I suppose another option would be to stay at home for two full weeks... Which you're already doing I presume. But we've seen cases deteriorate very quickly.

Hey guys thanks for the asking this... follow up question... i would like to get a CV test, the rapid test, heres why, I would like to get the rapid test, then purchase airline tickets so that I know im negative, then if necessary go and get the real PCR test, before i get on the airplane, just so i can make sure i dont lose the tickets with a positive CV.
