Just heard something on TV by a Doc that is so simple and easy to help us all during this crazy virus....go to Amazon now and buy a cheap (I got one for $25) PULSE OXIMETER READER FOR YOUR FINGER! Then, if you have some symptoms you are concerned about, you quickly take the pulse oxygenation reading and KNOW immediately if this is potentially virus related. He said if you call any medical screener with symptoms but can tell them that your oxygenation levels are within normal limits, that we can all avoid unnecessary waits to see a Doc, and potential exposure while there. They have them for both adults and peds available on Amazon now)...who knows how quickly they might sell out. Good luck all!
This is great advice. I just picked up one of these last Friday.
