Also, you can take lots of Vitamin C, since IV Vit C is successfully treating covid patients in China, S Korea, also a NY doctor is doing it, I heard.
Also take Vitamin D, Vit A, B multi, Vit E, zinc, iodine, turmeric and there's more - if you fortify yourself, you'll be in better shape.
My vote amongst all of this is lots of Vit C. With that kind of potential exposure nextdoor, I suggest testing Vit C to tolerance - ie find out how much you can take and be ok.

Hey Maddog,
Hope you are feeling better.
Here is another case of someone concerned about whether she was having a herx or maybe had coronavirus.

Hi Gang I have the choking thing again,something leaks down into my lungs, I then cough cough cough.
A online doctor thinks i have a sinus infection and he put me on augmentin like these giant pills about 1000 ml twice a day.
I think it is to much ,he didn't ask my size or weight.
I am so tired and achy,i just feel terrible. I did have a good day Tuesday but aspirated 6 times that day.
I am getting so anxious and scared ,i just want to feel good enough to go fishing. Like sit on a stool on a dock and watch the bobbers.
I tried today but felt so bad i could not stand it.
So now I think i have been having the covid virus.
Very hard to tell!!
After i got home i was outside in the fresh air and felt a little better for awhile.
But then i aspirated for the first time today and walla i feel like crap again.

Is there any way that you can get tested for the virus MD? That would be my first step. Hope and pray that you don't have it but better safe than sorry. Hang in there!

Maddog, getting a test for COViD19 will make things clearer for you, and ease your mind if negative, or get you proper care if it is positive.
The test for the virus is free, and if it is sent to a major hospital in Ohio, where they do tests - not to a private lab - you should have an answer much quicker.
Maybe there is a testing set-up near you where you can drive thru.
Hugs

Here is a way some doctors are making it easier for patients who have to come to the office.
You can ask your doctor if you can wait in your car and they can phone you when they are ready to see you - and of course, you wear mask and gloves when you go in.
Also ask how long the visit will take and how soon you will get test results .
I hope you work something out.
Feel better,

Maddog,
What a pain. Here we have a drive through testing site and you don't need a MD order. You just have to have a cough or a fever or symptoms of covid19.
I agree with Ann to wait in your car and have them come get you when they are ready for you to see the physician.
With all of this covid19 no one should have to go through a gadzillion tests just to get the covid19 test.

Also the test results for flu and strep are available in a very short time.
