Her advice to others is to assume you have been exposed, and have a plan for if you do get sick to help minimize stress. That afternoon, a friend sent me a Facebook post advertising a drive-thru testing facility at a Community Health Center in a nearby town. Convinced that this might be my only opportunity to get a test, I chugged coffee, got in my car, and headed over there. The nose swab itself was unpleasant, but the overall experience was excellent. Smooth, efficient, not scary, and I was promised a phone call with test results in 3 to 5 days.I could feel that it was slightly more difficult to breathe.

To make breathing easier, she suggested I take hot showers, find a humidifier, apply Vicks VapoRub to my chest, and try to sleep in a propped-up sitting position. She told me to expect limited sleep. Various friends delivered a humidifier and Vicks. 2. Determine how you will get groceries or meals if you suddenly become stuck at home for two-plus weeks.If you don't have friends or family who can bring food to you, google a grocery delivery service and find out if they actually deliver to your neighborhood. Create a sample order to make sure.

Incredibly irresponsible reporting by of terrible behavior. Author knew she was sick with coronavirus, then drove 'to several stores' instead of using delivery or asking 'overwhelming' number of people who offered help. This is why the virus is spreading.

'...so I decided to treat it as COVID-19 regardless' 'After driving around to several stores that were out-of-stock' NOICE

Glad she's OK but what kind of 30-yr old adult has no Tylenol or a thermometer ?

wow I don't care
