Deciding to play it safe, I called the teledoc today about my cough and shortness of breath.

Because I haven't had a fever, she didn't believe I have the Coronavirus, and she didn't want me to go to the urgent care to get tested, as that would put me in too much danger of being exposed.

So, because I'm in the high risk group, she has me self-quarantined for 72 hours, and she prescribed me a new inhaler and another asthma medicine to see if that would help.

If I develop a fever in the next 72 hours then I have to get tested, but otherwise, she's just erring on the side of caution.

So... Three days of unpaid time off. Not what I wanted, but I guess it's better than 2 weeks of unpaid time off, and I really don't want to risk getting anyone sick.

At least I have an abundance of books to read!

Take care everyone, stay safe!
