Worried I may have the corona virus
Today I’ve developed an itching type dry cough off and on. I’ve also been developing fatigue and just feeling Ill. I don’t have a fever yet but so worried I have it or will get it. I’ve already got issues with chiari malformation and elevated blood pressure so I’m more at risk
of developing severe symptoms.

Re: Worried I may have the corona virus
Coughs are common in late winter/early spring.
With COVID-19, the fever often precedes the cough. You might also be feeling unwell through anxiety (I know I am).
However, if your condition worsens call your doctor or emergency services at once. Try to self-isolate for the next week or so, only going out for critical things like shopping. I'm not saying it is corona but it's better to be safe than sorry.

if it makes you feel any better, I had the same dry itchy cough off and on yesterday. No fever though. Took NyQuil before bed last night and today that cough is mostly gone. It’s hard to say for certain of course but this is still cold and flu season too - and with ever changing weather patterns sometimes we’ll just develop a cough or runny nose that has nothing to do with corona.

Very wise words, yesmorepanic!!
I think that's where a lot of the confusion concerning CV has stemmed from. I'm sure once the weather starts to pick up from around next month onwards and the usual ailments that are typical of this time of year gradually start to peter out, coupled with increased understanding of the virus in due course, things will hopefully start to become much clearer and the situation better defined.
I'm sure whatever restrictive measures the govt impose from now onwards will no doubt anger and inconvenience many of us in the short term, but in the meantime, like it or not, they are only trying to act in the best of interests of everyone, which should hopefully be of benefit to us all in the long run. Let's just keep looking forward to the time at least when we are all over the worst, and ultimately, when the pandemic is officially declared over!
I am also sure that the blatant sensationalism the papers are spewing out on a daily basis re the virus will eventually exhaust itself (fingers crossed).

What’s even more frightening is they are saying eerulme
is almost guaranteed to get it. It’s supposed to affect over 2/3 of the population in the next couple months.

NO everyone isn't going to get it.
