there is no evidence in your story that points to a coronavirus infection.. typical viral-fever symptoms include fever, running nose and maybe some skin rash, myalgia (muscle cramps) and arthralgia (pain in the joints).. and while a typical ear infection - Otitis Media - is primarily a bacterial infection, the bacterial infection can be facilitated by a coronavirus of the common type.. some studies have shown that common viruses (such as Rhinoviruses and Coronaviruses) can help a bacteria invading and causing illnesses in the body producing symptoms of sore throat or pain in the ear (acute otitis media).. HOWEVER.. you may have 'A' coronavirus but not 'THE' coronavirus..
Coronavirus includes a large family of viruses, some causes the Common Cold (not to be confuse with the common Flu).. so if you had the Cold or the Common Cold in the past, then you may have had contracted a coronavirus (but not the coronavirus) in the past that is considered common in most parts of the world.. `
again, not all Coronaviruses are the same.. and not all Coronaviruses are the ones that is currently spreading in China and some parts of the world.. it is important to understand this part..
some members of the Coronavirus family have caused the 2007 SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and the 2013 MERS (the Middle East respiratory syndrome) -- they're all are coronaviruses but they are not the same..
`
the one that is currently happening in China and some parts of the world is called 'the Coronavirus Disease of 2019 or COVID-19'.. COVID-19 now replaces the previous names 'the Wuhan coronavirus', 'the Novel coronavirus' and the 'the Bat coronavirus'.. these names are no longer in official use, and it is now called COVID-19..
so far.. nothing in your story indicates a COVID-19 infection.. the initial symptoms would be typical of the Common Cold: fever, running nose, some cough.. and maybe sore throat, some rash, myalgia and arthralgia.. but as the disease progresses, the cough would be more constant, you would have difficulties in breathing..
however.. to suspect a COVID-19 infection, we first need to look at your history:
have you visited China or the far east recently?
have you had contact with a COVID-19 patient? do you work in a place where you are more likely to contract COVID-19 (such as an international airport, a quarantine hospital, a cruise ship, an airline in international flights)?
do you know anyone who just came back from China?
the likelihood that you have a COVID-19 infection decreases if you answer no to the above questions.. HOWEVER, when in doubt, you are always welcomed to see a doctor at any clinic, and get tested for COVID-19 infection.. but to be honest, you should worry more about measles and influenza (the common flu) at the moment..
the common flu had killed more people in America last year (about 4800 people), than the COVID-19 coronavirus did in China since the outbreak in 2019 until few days ago (2970 people).. so if you are well enough, i would advise you to get Flu shots at a nearby clinic as early as possible..
few weeks ago, some American scientists have reached a promising vaccine against COVID-19.. but it is still in the testing phase and not yet mass-produced and made available world-wide.. and few weeks earlier, Thai doctors reached a working regimen (that works!!) to treat COVID-19 -- a combination of anti-HIV medications Lopinavir and Ritonavir in combination with anti-flu drug Oseltamivir.. this is the current antiviral medications given to COVID-19 with people still tweaking the formula to get better results..
all the best..
