[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone has no KNOWN exposure, which/how many symptoms should they use as the trigger to contact a doctor? [/quote] Apparently community exposure isn't a "thing" yet, and no matter your symptoms, unless you have travelled to a hotspot w/in 14 days of onset or have had direct contact with an infected person, you aren't eligible for testing. At least not in DC or MD. I'm immunosuppressed and have had a fever and dry cough and chest pains for 6 days. I'm self-quarantined until I get over this. My doc says there's not much for me to do unless i can no longer breath on my own. I don't disagree, but suppose I do have COVID19 - my kids go to local schools, my elderly parents live close by (I'm not seeing them these days). From both a personal health and public health standpoint I should be tested. Anyone who is symptomatic should be tested IMO. [/quote]
