Been infected? Or tested positive? The former is almost certain, but not the latter. Wait another month.
I was tipped off by a friend that someone in my office has self-quarantined after being suspected of having it. I went to confirm this with one of the team leaders, and he was like, "OMG who told you???" lol
I've learned that the people in charge in my office talk too much, lol

Not yet. I'm paranoid that I'm carrying it but I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. A few days ago I started to have a dry cough and I'm wheezing a bit when I breathe in, but I have a history with asthma. I want to self-quarantine but I also know when I come back to work they'll need a note, so I'm keeping an eye on my temperature and the second I hit 100.1 I'm calling my doctor. Right now my temperature is around 99.3 so it's within standard range, but I'm checking it about 3 times a day.
this should be how the "no" option is worded, anyhow. dmr87 - can you actually change that?
nasal blockage is no symptom associated with COVID-19 fwiw.
Runny nose -> cold
headaches and sore feeling throughout the body -> flu
the typical symptoms for COVID-19 are mainly dry cough and fevers.
Yeah, someone I have worked with previously contracted it at RSA (cybersecurity conference) and is now fighting for his life. Dude is only 45 and has twin infants. I knew that some people had been infected at the conference but when I saw the name I couldn't believe it was the same person. This virus is no joke.

My dad and grandmother are both ill, but it's hard to tell what they have right now. Both are at higher risks; grandma because she's old, dad because his health sucks. No breathing problems right now, so it could just be the flu. Who the hell knows anymore, not like tests are readily available in this country.
But doing what I can for them, though I'm starting to wear a mask while in close contact (also vigorously washing hands) in hopes I don't contract it too.

started to get a fever/muscle aches/slight cough last night into today and i'm pretty sure i have something. maybe a cold or flu or worse? but since i haven't knowingly come in contact with a person who travelled overseas and since i'm under 40, i'll pretty much have to ride this out at home since they won't test me right now. working at a very busy grocery store and taking public transit to work every day, i'm not surprised if i did catch it from somewhere, but i can't say for sure.
i think there's tons of similar cases out there right now and this is about to get real bad, real fast.
i think i'll ultimately be fine, though having asthma does give me some trepidation, but i'm way more worried about my 90-year-old grandfather who i live with. he'll be staying with other family while i self-isolate myself. shit sucks

No thankfully, had a little scare when my mother was showing a few symptoms, but she made a full recovery after a couple days rest. I have a horrible feeling of inevitability though.
I found out today that two people I know have been confirmed with the virus, one I know personally very well and the other is the boss of a friend who I've met a handful of times.
This is in the UK where we only have 1,100 cases so I was very surprised and as far as I know the two people don't know each other.
