I had same reaction, it happened in Torino, Italy. I've no idea why I am being downvoted for reporting simply what she told me.

You are downvoted for passing off your uneducated (in the field of health) opinion that her illness was coronavirus as fact, and for implying that antibiotics somehow could help with the coronavirus directly (i.e. in fighting the virus not preventing secondary infections) in any way (they can't).

I asked her again, now it's confirmed it's Coronavirus. It takes time to get lab test, they can't confirm it immediately it seems for now.

It can't already be confirmed if the labtest is not completed yet. It sounds like you still misunderstood the nurse.

They're doing a labtest for Coronavirus because she's been in contact with a nurse who's been in contact with a Coronavirus patient. It is just standard protocol to get tested in that case.

You are putting words in my mouth. Labtest confirmed she has Corona.

No doctor is dumb enough to give antibiotics for a virus.

They don't know it's Coronavirus tho, they didn't test for it.

Calling it Corona is just my speculation based on who she worked with in the clinic where she's a nurse.

So "This was Coronavirus" was actually bullshit.

Not really, she's a nurse - she had told me that she cared for a boy who died from Coronavirus and no one getting same symptoms and bronchitis after sometime.
