Ask HN: Have you been infected by Covid-19? What is it like?
I have had a fever for a week and difficulty breathing.  I have asked my doctor about getting tested for Covid19 and they have declined to test me because I don't meet the critical criteria: age > 60, around large groups of people, etc.<p>I run in circles with someone that returned from Italy and has been confirmed to have Covid19.  I'm assuming I have it.<p>The fever isn't so bad for me but there have been a few times where I thought I would die from not being able to breath. There is only one thing I did that helped with the breathing but it fits in the old wife's tales category so I wont post it here since I don't want to be mocked for it. We used to the same thing 10 years ago to get my Mother-in-law off the ventilator when they told us she would never get off.<p>Today is day 6 since the fever started and the fever is gone today, still feeling weak.
