my child had fever and runny nose, slight cough. we went to the doctor* and they swabbed her nose and the panel came back negative. they didn't test for covid-19. am I supposed to be concerned now?
*they had us come in from a back door and drs and nurses gowned/masked up when they came into the room and we weren't allowed to go to the front of the office!

lol! good question. but I guess just not to spread to other patients? dunno! but I do know that they don't have the kits for it there yet.
there was another kid there that tested positive for flu & 2 coronavirus strains all at once, poor kid  (not covid-19)

I'm coming down with my seasonal allergies now and even though I know that's what it is I still freaked out at that first sneeze. Turns it when I was researching the symptoms that the best way to differentiate between this coronavirus and seasonal allergies / the many other viruses that go around winter time is that runny nose and sneezing is actually not a common symptom. Only 5% of infected patients in Wuhan had nasal congestion. This is a virus that mostly infects lower down in the respiratory track, hence pnemonia as a common side affect. So I would say your daughters symptoms don't point to corona. We've all just gotta take a deep breath and remember those colds/allergies of yesterday past... They all haven't just magically disappeared now that there's a new player in town

Not allergies. And definitely a virus. Of course there are more respiratory viruses that aren’t tested for, but with this whole hype going on I’m speculating if it’s potentially covid-19, and how does that change things for us as a family?

But if a main symptom is nasal congestion it probably isn't that.
