With all of the misinformation or lack of it, people who get it are scared. I’m pretty sure I had it but the symptoms were not bad enough that I thought I needed a trip to the hospital. My wife was scared because she has had trouble taking deep breaths and chest pain. It wore on her nerves so I took her to the emergency room. We’ve been here for over four hours. They wouldn’t let me in so I’m sitting in the parking lot. Her diagnosis after chest X-rays is that she has pneumonia, that’s what is causing her chest pain. They also took a swab to test for the virus and she should know in a couple of days.. They gave her Motrin and told her to continue with the Tylenol. Her vitals were good so after she is done with her iv for fluids (she was dehydrated), they are letting her go home. If it was a regular flu, I don’t think she would’ve went to the ER but with all of the propaganda on TV, she was very worried. Her temp was 104 this morning and is at 103 now. It pains me to see her struggling to cough. Hopefully the worst part is behind her.

Sorry to hear that she's miserable. Hopefully she improves from here and that cough gets better.

No, they gave her an IV, some Motrin and told her to force herself to take deep breaths to help with the pneumonia. Her temp came down some. They said it would take time for her to recover. She did ask if there was some sort of medication for the pneumonia and the doctor said no...just time.
Hope she is well soon

My wife had some nasty lung shit March 13 that lasted two weeks but some scary ass nights. It always got worse laying down at night for her. She sounded like a dying deer gasping for air when asleep. Never know if it was covid but it was confirmed here at that time. The only thing that kept her from the ER in the middle of the night was a breathing treatments with albuterol it helped open airways to take deep breaths easier.
