Unbelievable... Germany is blinded by the fact that their mortality rate is "only" .27% or so thus far. Thus far being the operative words. Not doing a shutdown and leaving everything open just gives the virus more time and room to spread. Which in turn exposes more older and compromised immune system people to the virus.

OMG I hope that you can get tested and that you can quarantine and get better! If you keep having shortness of breath and crazy dry coughs then call your doctor again cause that's when it gets dangerous... Get better and stay safe!

xtaticboy82 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Hi Guys! I am on my day 7 of self quarantine as I arrived in Melbourne from Manila. Went to the Philippines last 7 March to check on the apratment that I bought and visit my grandmum in the province down south (in Mindanao, you need to fly from Manila). Went out with my friends when I arrived that night in a gay club. That time (7 March) Philippines had only 5 cases so far but the 5th case was working near my Hotel (Grand Hyatt). So basically I was already practising safety precautions like hand washing but not much with social distancing. Then on 9 March dinner time with the real estate people, I suffered chills but with no fever. I got panicky so I said goodbye to them and headed straight to a prestigious private hospital for a check up. It was a nightmare! Upon assessment, they classified me as PUI (Patient Under Investigation) due to me coming from Australia. Waiting for hours for the Covid 19 swab test to be done. After 7 hours, they did a swab test, was dischsrged but advised to be on self quarantine until I get the results. I kept on calling the the hospital because I know how the Philippines works (you have to constantly follow them up but with an corteous tone). Finally got my results on 12 March. NEGATIVE! Then on 13 March I had to go back to the hospital to get a travel clearance for me to be able to fly back to Australia.They did a routine check up, then I got cleared. Since President Duterte announced a halt of domestic flights on 11 March which took efcect on 15 March, my flight back to Melbourne on 14 March was packed! Imagine the paranoia for that 8 hours flight. I seated on the window seat, only went to the toilet once, disinfected my seat and the IFE, wore mask almost all thru out the flight. I am feeling well atm, sometimes getting paranoid if symptoms pop out during my quarantine. If I could have turned back time, I should not have pursued that 1 week trip. Now I do not feel like flying for months or even years until this pandemic gets solved. Take care everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No coincidence they include the 1st, 2nd and 3rd largest cities in the US by metro population. Dallas and Houston are #4 and #5 respectively, so Texas is next in line.

This is going to be a very tricky time. Allergies are starting, and the stress from the panic can bring on all sorts of symptoms from mental and emotional exhaustion that will manifest physically. However you are saying you feel very weak and fatigued - you should get checked to be safe. Have you been able to sleep during this stressful time? I believe a strong cough and breathing problems are also symptoms. Good luck and take care of yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 My hubby has fever and as he's been working, we're put on absolute quarantine. We can't leave home not even to buy bread. Aw friend of mine will have to help us. We didn't have a test because, I guess, there's not enough tests. Which shows that numbers are not real as many cases are left untested, which also means that the death rate is inaccurate, as they're not real numbers to compare to. Italy and Spain are only testing people being admitted to hospitals, that's why our death rate is so high.. Don't be fooled by the official numbers, stay at home and protect the elderly. We're ok. My husband only has mild fever and I'm ok. Maybe we simply have a flu case. We'll never know if there aren't complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you authority does not have enough test kit to do all tests for all suspected cases hence advice you to do self quarantine! Hope you recover soon.

Spain has slowly reached the point where people will be left to die as there's not enough material. How European countries still don't follow the lockout and people can still go for a walk baffles me. I'm not including UK or USA because that's another universe altogether.
