“How should we get to a medical facility if we suspect we have COVID-19?”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

My friends and I are wondering how we should get to a medical facility if we suspect we have COVID-19? As most young professionals in the city we rely on public transit and rideshares to get places regularly, which we would not use if we suspect we are sick.

Has the city issued any recommendations? What do other readers recommend? Do we call an ambulance or just stay home?”

Another reader asks: “If a person has bad symptoms, needs to tested (or SAVED), how do they get there? Uber? WMATA? Walk w/ 104° fever?”

As of 7:00 p.m. Monday “the District’s coronavirus (COVID-19) data includes 21 new positive cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 137 individuals.”

“Dear PoPville,

I think I might have it but I don’t know for sure

I had a 102.4 fever on Friday night, and had a “telemedicine” appointment with a doctor on Saturday afternoon. She asked what other symptoms I had, and I told her “I really have none apart from aches and pains of the flu.”

She thought it would be best to schedule me for a test the next day.

I went to bed Saturday night and woke up sweating and feeling horrible. My temperature was 103.8, which scared the hell out of me. I called the Takoma Park VFD to ask if I should go to the ER. (more…)

As of 7:00 p.m. Tonight “18 new positive cases, bringing the District’s overall positive case total to 116 individuals.”
