I think I've got covid. Worked with somebody on Wednesday who was confirmed to have it on Thursday, now I have a high fever and generally feel like shit.

My boss is being kind of annoying though, he's telling me to go to the hospital for a test. The nearest covid hospital is around 50 minutes away via a bus and 3 trains. Considering how I feel at the moment doing that trip would be difficult. So 2 hours of suffering for me, spending money on transport and the test that I don't really have (not going to get paid while I'm sick so I don't want to needlessly throw money away) and potentially infecting a whole bunch of other people on the way. Just seems like a really stupid and selfish thing to do, just to go from "probably covid" to "definitely covid".

You should go just to be safe. You won't die as a young guy, but you might need to be hospitalized.

Also this might be a hassle, but hospitals recommend you call ahead if you think you have covid so that they can keep other patients safe.

Are you vaccinated? (so you atleast know outcome wont be too bad?)

Very unlikely, vaccinations are very slow here.
