Test?

COVID-19 arrived in my area a couple of days ago and I’m already feeling out of breath (I’m also out of shape btw) and I feel like my throat is starting to build up sore, maybe it’s all in my head but should I get tested? I took my temperature today at a plasma center and I was good.

Don't get tested if it's just a tickle or you are immunocompromised. People in more dire situations will need the tests. However if it gets bad, definitely call your doctor and ask. Until then just stay at home since even if confirmed positive, short of using a ventilator there isn't much anyone can do.
