新冠病毒受到了很多學子關注，大家也很好奇新冠檢測的情況，究竟真實的新冠症狀有哪些?一起和天道小編看看吧。
我努力保護自己免受新冠病毒和流感的侵襲。但我同時得到了這兩種東西
勞倫·希內斯2020年11月27日
周二下午，我開始了一場痛苦的決鬥，開始時我喉嚨沙啞，還有輕微但惱人的咳嗽。我把它標記為肯塔基州的秋天，那裡在華氏70多度(70多度)的午後陽光明媚，之後晚上就會有零度的溫度。我對呼吸道感染並不陌生，因為多年來我一直生活在過敏、哮喘和免疫力低下的三重威脅之下。
星期三早上，我突然咳嗽，頭暈目眩。我去看了醫生，醫生向我保證，我幾乎可以肯定沒有感染Covid-19，儘管我們縣一個多月來一直被認為是「紅色」地區，而且病例數量還在不斷攀升。
我對醫生的安慰有點懷疑，因為那天早上我得知，一周前我在一所高中教西班牙語和社會研究，一名學生的新冠檢測呈陽性。
為預防起見，我接受了鏈球菌、流感和Covid-19的檢測。當護士告訴我流感檢測呈陽性時，我很震驚，我帶著達菲的處方和在家休息一周的指示離開了。周四，我又累又疼——都是類似流感的輕微症狀——但我在虛擬環境下完成了所有的工作。除了偶爾的咳嗽，其中一次讓我跪了下來，我認為我只是得了流感。
第二天，我接到電話，說我的Covid-19檢測也呈陽性。我應該料到這個消息，因為前一天晚上我點了一支南瓜味的蠟燭，但是後來才意識到我沒有聞到它的香味。
我嚇壞了。但我也很生氣。後我很生氣,我的學校沒有國家建議讓學生回家,使用遠程學習,在我的醫生淡化日益威脅的病毒,在我的家人和朋友對我的擔憂,不屑一顧,甚至生氣自己創造一種虛假的安全感,使用N95口罩,一個空氣淨化器,有機玻璃盾在我的課堂會讓我有安全感。
我當時很生氣，現在仍然很生氣，因為對一場全球性流行病的應對在美國變得如此政治化，即使我採取了一切預防措施，仍然不夠。我開始每天四次使用噴霧治療來保持我的肺清潔，並開始服用鋅和維生素D。
上周末，人們很難知道哪些症狀是由Covid-19引起的，哪些是由流感引起的。咳嗽開始慢慢好轉，雖然我經歷了極度的疲勞、寒戰、疼痛、嚴重的頭痛和腹瀉，但我的體溫只有一次在99.9度以上。
到了周一，咳嗽停止了，我的燒也退了下來，但我感覺比以前更糟。我相信那時我已經擺脫了流感，新冠症狀接手了我的工作。我睡得太久了，所以我妹妹來我的Alexa玩，因為我一次好幾個小時都不接電話或簡訊。除了上廁所，我沒有離開我的臥室，喝了媽媽大量購買的零度佳得樂橙汁，我把它放在床邊。為了提高效率，我精心安排了盥洗室之外的旅程，因為它們需要我竭盡全力，之後還需要小睡一會兒。
我看電視，但發現我不能集中注意力或睡著了。在把《洛夫克拉夫特國家》第一集看了四遍之後，我只好瀏覽TikTok，或者重看《辦公室》，因為我連最簡單的情節都看不懂。我經歷了幾輪嚴重的腹痛，並經歷了一種全新的感覺:小刺痛感會隨機地在我的下腹部和上腹部移動。
在接下來的幾天裡，我不斷地檢查自己的血氧飽和度，知道如果低於93%，我就得去醫院。周三，脈搏血氧儀的讀數從98%下降到93%，在那一刻，當我吸完氣時，我感到輕微的呼吸急促和胸痛。儘管如此，我還是感覺好了一點。我的醫生讓我做了一次胸透，我去了一家離我家三分鐘車程的醫院。這是正常的。我開始服用口服類固醇，效果非常好。
直到周五，也就是我第一次得知自己感染了Covid-19和流感整整一周後，我才從床上爬到了沙發上。這感覺像是一個重大的時刻。
在那個星期裡，我減了12磅。吃了幾口食物後，我就會覺得噁心，覺得已經吃飽了。有幾天，即使家人和朋友給我送來食物，我還是什麼也沒吃。吃一個甜甜圈花了我整整兩天的時間，每次只吃一到兩口。
在我感覺最糟糕的時候，焦慮加重了我的身體症狀。每次入睡時，我都在想自己醒來時是否會氣喘籲籲或無法呼吸。我非常感激我的呼吸系統症狀很輕微，我沒有住院就度過了難關。
我被確診為Covid-19的那天，新聞上充斥著創紀錄的病例數:那天超過8.5萬例。現在，這一記錄接近14萬，而且還在與日俱增。
雖然我懷疑是在學校，但我仍然不知道自己是在什麼時候、在什麼地方感染上Covid-19或流感的。自從3月份以來，由於免疫力低下和哮喘，我就再也沒有去過雜貨店和餐館。我唯一的密切接觸者是我的母親和我的妹妹，兩人的Covid-19檢測均為陰性，沒有症狀。我在學校總是戴口罩和使用N95呼吸器。
簡單的事實是，對於這種通過空氣傳播的病毒，我們仍有許多需要了解的地方:它是如何傳播的，它如何得到最佳治療，它的長期影響是什麼等等。
現在我到了另一邊，身體感覺好多了，焦慮也少多了。我並不為自己的特殊而感到自豪:同時被診斷為Covid-19和流感的情況很罕見，尤其是在對Covid-19採取重大預防措施和接受流感疫苗注射的情況下。雖然我這學期剩下的時間都在進行虛擬教學，而且仍在遵循公共衛生指導，但我現在有了一種解脫感。我迫不及待地想要回到我的學生們的物理課堂上，我希望我的免疫力能夠持續足夠長的時間，直到我可以接種疫苗。
沒有人知道Covid-19的免疫持續多久，是90天、一年還是更長時間，我仍然擔心潛在的長期影響。隔離後，疲勞和消化問題持續了很長時間，我還經歷了令人擔憂的胸痛。
我的底線我的經驗是,我們所有人必須認真保護我們周圍的人誰需要和值得額外的預防措施,由於防護措施不能保證(我已經吸取了教訓),尤其是在面對看上去是一個嚴重的今年冬天Covid-19激增。

I worked hard to protect myself from Covid-19 and the flu. Yet I got both — at the same time
By LAUREN HINESNOVEMBER 27, 2020
My painful excursion into the world of dueling infections started on a Tuesday afternoon with a scratchy throat and a mild-yet-annoying cough. I chalked it up to fall in Kentucky, where sunny afternoons in the mid 70s can be followed by freezing temperatures at night. I’m no stranger to respiratory infections, having lived for years with the triple threat of allergies, asthma, and low immunity.
On Wednesday morning, I was having coughing fits that made me dizzy. I went to see my doctor, who assured me that I almost certainly didn’t have Covid-19, even though our county had been considered a 「red」 one for more than a month and the case count was climbing.
I was a bit suspicious of my doctor’s reassurance because I had learned that morning of a student who had tested positive for Covid-19 the week before in the high school where I am a Spanish and social studies teacher.
As a precaution, I was tested for strep, influenza, and Covid-19. I was shocked when the nurse let me know that I had tested positive for the flu, and I left with a prescription for Tamiflu and instructions to stay home for a week.On Thursday, I was tired and achy — both mild flu-like symptoms — but was able to complete all my work virtually. Aside from the occasional coughing fit, one of which brought me to my knees, I believed I just had the flu.
The next day I got a call that I had also tested positive for Covid-19. I should have expected that news, because the night before I had lit a pumpkin-scented candle but didn’t realize until later that I hadn’t smelled its fragrance.
I was extremely scared. But I was also angry. I was angry at my school for not following state recommendations to keep students home and use remote learning, at my doctor for downplaying the increasing threat of the virus, at my family members and friends who brushed off my concerns, and even angry at myself for creating a false sense of security that using an N95 mask, an air purifier, and a plexiglass shield in my classroom would keep me safe.
I was angry, and still am, that the response to a worldwide pandemic has become so deeply politicized in the U.S. and that even though I took every precaution, it still wasn’t enough. I began taking nebulizer treatments four times a day to keep my lungs clear and began taking zinc and vitamin D.
Over the weekend, it was difficult to know which symptoms were due to Covid-19 and which ones were due to the flu. The coughing began to slowly improve, and I had a temperature above 99.9° only once, though I experienced extreme fatigue, chills, aches, a severe headache, and diarrhea.
By Monday, the coughing had stopped and my fever was down, but I felt even worse than before. I believe that was the point where I was over the flu and Covid-19 was taking over. I slept so much that my sister dropped in on my Alexa because I didn’t answer calls or texts for hours at a time. I didn’t leave my bedroom except to use the bathroom and drank room-temperature orange Gatorade Zero that my mom had bought in bulk and I kept next to my bed. Trips beyond the bathroom were carefully planned for efficiency as they required all of my strength and a nap immediately after.
I watched TV, but found I couldn’t focus or would fall asleep. After trying to watch the first episode of Lovecraft Country four times, I resorted to browsing TikTok or re-watching The Office as I couldn’t keep up with the simplest plot. I had several rounds of severe abdominal pain and experienced a completely new sensation: small tingles that would randomly move throughout my lower and upper abdomen.
Over the next few days, I constantly checked my oxygen saturation, knowing that if it dropped below 93% I would need to go to the hospital. From a starting point of 98%, the pulse oximeter readings crept down to 93% on Wednesday, at which point I was having mild shortness of breath and chest pain when I took a full breath. That said, I was feeling a little better. My doctor ordered a chest X-ray, which I got at a hospital a three-minute drive from where I live. It was normal. I started to take oral steroids, which helped immensely.
It wasn’t until Friday — a full week after I first learned that I had Covid-19 plus the flu — that I made the move from my bed to the couch. It felt like a momentous occasion.
During that week, I had lost 12 pounds. After a few bites of food, I would feel nauseous and completely full, and there were days when I ate nothing even though my family and friends delivered food to my porch. It took me two full days to eat one donut, taking just one or two bites at a time.
During the time when I felt the worst, anxiety compounded my physical symptoms. I wondered every time I fell asleep if I would wake up wheezing or unable to breathe. I am incredibly grateful that my respiratory symptoms were mild and that I was able to get through it without hospitalization.
The day I was diagnosed with Covid-19, the news was full of the record-breaking number of cases: more than 85,000 that day. Now, the record is nearly 140,000, and increasing by the day.
I still don’t know for sure how or when or where I contracted Covid-19 or the flu, though I suspect it was at school. I haven’t been in a grocery store or eaten in a restaurant since March because of my low immunity and asthma. My only close contacts have been my mother and my sister, both of whom tested negative for Covid-19 and have had no symptoms. I always wear a mask and use an N95 respirator at school.
The simple fact is that we still have a lot to learn about this airborne virus: how it is transmitted, how it is best treated, what its long-term effects are, and more.
Now that I’m on the other side, I’m feeling better physically and am far less anxious. I take no pride in knowing that I’m special: it’s rare to be diagnosed with both Covid-19 and the flu, especially when taking significant precautions for Covid-19 and receiving a flu shot. While I am teaching virtually for the rest of the semester and still am following public health guidance, I have a sense of relief — for now. I can’t wait to be back in the physical classroom with my students, and I am hoping that any immunity will last long enough until I can get vaccinated.
No one knows how long immunity to Covid-19 lasts, whether it is 90 days or a year or longer, and I am still worried about potential long-term effects. The fatigue and digestive issues lasted long after quarantine, and I have experienced worrisome chest pain.
To me, the bottom line from my experience is that all of us must be serious about protecting the people around us who need and deserve extra precautions, since protective measures are no guarantee (as I learned the hard way), especially in the face of what looks to be a serious spike in Covid-19 this winter.
