Indonesian infected with covid, how it goes in reality(true story). Age 37, male, smoker.
-Last Thursday filing dizzy.
-Last Friday did the antigen test, negative( antigen can have false negatives, or be negative when symptoms already started). Feeling weak, went to the doctor. He got medicine against gastritis only, despite in the middle of a pandemic. No vitamines, no antibiotics, etc. Same night fever 38-39.
-Saturday, consulted the doctor again. Got antihistaminic(antiallergic medicine), panadol, and medicine aginst vomiting. Again, no antibiotics, vitamines, etc. Temperature goes to 42 but manages to go down to 38.
-Sunday, fever 38, decided to do a PCR. PCR of course positive. Gets by himself antibiotics, vitamin D, C, Zinc, etc.
-Monday stable but fever 38, Tuesday, evening breathing, trying to go to the hospital. Hospital refuses as they are full and his oxygen saturation is 95%, and not considered urgent. Recommended self-isolation, no additional advice besides that. Heavy breathing and still good saturation probably point to developing pneumonia.
-Wednesday heavy breathing during the night, fever 38. Oxygen saturation is still good(>94%), but weak, cannot walk.
-Thursday(today), expecting oxygen support to come during the day, for the next 3-5 days.
