Nearly 40% of Icelanders are using a Covid app, but it hasn’t helped much

I think I have it. Going on 4th week with mild symptoms (severely itchy hands/arms, constant headache, muscle fatigue recently) that don't match published ones. I was probably infected going to grocer 6 weeks ago and took 2 weeks to manifest. The itch/red spots move around like every 8 hours ( I don't scratch it). What happened to you? Did it get in your lungs? What does a relapse behave like? I'm just trying to figure out what might happen.

You should go and get tested.

If you have it then it is in your lungs (it's a respiratory disease)

They still wont test until you are near death. CDC and Kaiser tell me to stay home. Plague has at least 2 forms: one if its in your lung and another in the skin. I'm wonder if this might not be similar.

What country are you in? Surely most places have solved the testing bottlenecks by now?

You really should go to a doctor for the skin condition at least.

There's no evidence of that. There are some very occasional skin conditions associated with COVID but they don't don't sound much like this.
