Does this sound like corona virus?

[Theodoreb]

I caught a flu about 3 weeks ago. Day 1-4 I had temperature and headache day 4- 10 I had a dry cough which is abnormal for me as I have copd I usually have very chesty coughs. Day 10- 16 I had a chesty cough bringing up mucus (sorry tmi) and today on day 17 I started taking prenisolone as really struggling to breathe.
I'm hoping it is corona as don't want to catch that on top of this tia for replies.

Only a test can tell you.

I don't know. You just said you had flu. What did your doctor say? Presumably they have diagnosed you? When you were given steroids what did they say?

That they want to send of a sample which will take a few days to come back. My mother is going to take the sample up tomorrow doctor said without examining me she can't be sure.

A sample of what?

Sputem I think it's called.

Trying to be polite but basically mucus from my chest.
