A doctor who has been diagnosed with coronavirus has given an insight into the disease's daily symptoms on social media.
Dr. Yale Tung Chen, 35, from Spain, who caught the infection while he was treating patients at Hospital Universitario La Paz in Madrid, has been sharing his experiences battling the illness with the pubic.
The emergency physician has been sharing ultrasound scans of his lungs and listing his daily symptoms in an attempt to give the world a glimpse of how the illness takes over the body.
Taking to Twitter the doctor wrote: 'Day 1 after #COVID diagnosis. Sore throat, headache (strong!), Dry cough but not shortness of breath. No lung US abnormalities. Will keep a #POCUS track of my lungs. #coronavirus @TomasVillen @ButterflyNetInc.'

The pneumonia vaccine is good against bacterial pneumonia; COVID causes viral pneumonia as its primary presentation, but secondary presentation can be bacterial. I got mine before COVID, but I’d say go ahead and get it. It will increase your chances a few percent, of not being so screwed.
I, on the other hand, am so screwed.
I hate vaccines and even I got the pneumonia vaccine. Do it!
The pneumonia occurring with the Corona is not the same as the one covered by the vaccine?
Damn foreigners bringing their diseases to Australia!
There ought to be a law.
Sounds Amish.
No. the pneumovax covers 23 strains of pneumococcal pneumonia which is one of the most common and deadly forms of bacterial pneumonia particularly among us seasoned citizens or people with underlying chronic lung disease. the pneumonia associated with the corona virus is viral pneumonia caused by the corona virus itself. There are literally hundreds of agents that cause pneumonia. You should talk with your primary care provider about your risks for bacterial pneumonia and if you should get the pneumovax but it is generally a good idea
Pence says Americans returning from coronavirus ‘epicenter’ Europe will be ‘funneled’ through THIRTEEN airports before 14-day self-quarantine - but gives NO specifics, as experts warn Trump’s travel ban won’t stop virus spread
Sick passenger wearing a mask and gloves on a flight from JFK to Palm Beach ‘received call saying he had coronavirus just moments before plane took off’
We had Chinese food about 5 weeks ago. For the last few weeks I’ve had a constant runny nose and a slight cough. One night I had terrible whole body chills but I don’t think I had a fever. My husband had three days of diarrhea and migraines this week but he’s better now. I’m hoping we caught the virus were the some of the lucky ones who suffered with very mild symptoms. I know there are instances when people got reinfected but we both in our fifties and have no underlying health issues. I do have to confess that I am a bit of a hypochondriac.
I would very much like to read the articles where researchers say that Covid19 scans are impossible to differentiate from ARDS scans. Please post the link because I missed it
That would be a good one for me to link on the big thread.

New coronaviruses are prone to cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which has posed a great threat to life safety. Non-invasive respiratory adjuvant therapy is a conventional treatment for ARDS caused by new coronavirus pneumonia.

What happens when you combine a CHINESE BIO-WEAPON with a bunch of self centered, self absorbed morons?
The End.
Hmm. Very interesting hypothesis. I’m secretly pleased by this.
You don’t have to be a dick about it.
I wasn’t.
A simple observation and statement of known and obvious fact.
We got big, BIG problems now.
Digital X rays would likely be diagnostic of choice for frequent lung imaging. Less radiation than CT, more accurate than US.

It’s stable, logical, knowledgeable people like you that make me wish we had “Like” buttons here. LoL.
I’ve been reading some of these Corona threads and you’ve been informative. Thanks.
