Making sure you have aspirin or other fever-reducing product at home. Making sure your doctor and the hospital know that you have the virus. Making sure anyone living with you is aware that you test positive and also get tested if they haven't already. If people living with you test negative, creating an "isolation" room for yourself or for them, to prevent them from getting infected, or making arrangements for one or both of you to spend the next few weeks somewhere else.
There are ways to REDUCE the risk of death if you test positive. Yes your own ability to fight it off is important, crucial even. But if the hospital knows that you might become an "incoming COVID-19" patient if your symptoms get bad enough, they might be better able to handle you, than if you show up without notice to the ER.
