COVID-19, also known as the novel coronavirus, was discovered in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has been a goddamn pain-in-the-ass ever since.
Symptoms
Symptoms can range from no to yes. The most common include fever, nonproductive cough, shortness of breath. In very rare instances, it can present as a scrotal abscess.

Objective fever supports subjective fevers and hypoxemia supports a patient's complaint of "I'm feeling hypoxemic." Chest X-ray is an important diagnostic tool. If Radiology recommends clinical correlation, please defriend them.
Differential Diagnosis
- Upper GI bleed
- Lower GI bleed
- Diabetic foot ulcer
Treatments
Treatment is largely supportive as there are no known treatments for COVID-19. Other interventions such as prayer, screaming "WHY GOD WHY?!" and remdesivir are currently going.
