Called three different doctors. Told there are now ZERO tests at GW, ZERO at Georgetown, DOH has no answers. Hoping for more tests to come in, but three of my PCP’s patients were turned away, just today, after waiting hours at GW.
I am white, wealthy, and have very good doctors. There are no tests right now. |

This is horrible. Contact the media. I got coverage for my family’s situation. Reporters are answering and engaging on these issues.
Good luck. |

| Your doctor should assume it is and treat the symptoms. |

curious. Where have you been? Metro? Church? Stores? Any known contact?
Wondering how widespread it is. Hope you are feeling better soon. |

Treat your symptoms as best as possible.
Good luck. Most people survive. |

Figure out a way to move to Canada before this started. (Actually, any country with decent health care infrastructure would do.) Too late now... |

That is the question. (I am a doctor.) But they should have swabbed you for flu, because that can be treated within an early window, and the treatment can mitigate negative outcomes. You should have also been formally or informally screened for all the other things that cause fever and which we can treat, such as strep. |
