I gotta question.
Why are these people even going to the doctor?
If I got a mild illness like a cold or flu, I would stay home, stay warm, sleep, eat hot soup, and take decongestants and ibuprofen as necessary. It takes a heck of of an illness to make me go to the doctor or hospital.
RE: Why are these people even going to the doctor?
FEAR FACTOR.
Ordinarily, if we did not have Covid, people would simply brush it off as a mild illness.
But we are not living in ordinary times, people want to make sure it’s not the novel Coronavirus that is several orders of a magnitude more transmissible and deadly.
It makes sense for at risk people to be tested for a COVID. They can get an infusion of antibodies that appears to help tremendously.
