can I get diagnosed by a Doctor on Demand with the flu

Doctors on Demand can definitely help diagnose

如果你得了流感
they can actually send a medication to your pharmacy

It’s great with telemedicine, as it was earlier mentioned,

because instead of going to the doctor’s office,
因为你不用去门诊
where you can spread some of those germs,
在门诊你会传播病毒
or get other people’s germs,
或者是被其他病人的病毒感染
you can actually call a doctor

may help with that diagnosis.

So, important question Sydney, have you gotten the flu shot?

And like we mentioned earlier,
就像我们刚才提到的
if you really do think you’re sick, this is a nice option
如果你真的觉得自己生病了 这是个不错的选择
because you are contagious, initially.
因为开始的时候你是有传染性的
Try to stay home, rest, hydrate.
尝试着待在家里 好好休息 多喝水
Certainly get on the app if you need to
当然了如果你想知道到底是不是流感
to find out if it is truly the flu.

And if so, like Doctor Dean mentioned
如果这样 就像Dean医生提到的
that anti-viral medication, so much more effective
