This is a telemedicine admission, history and physical, observation status.   History of Present Illness History and physical obtained using telehealth technology with the assistance of the bedside nurse.   Patient is a 83 y.o. female  who presents to hospital with chills and weakness. The patient is known to have history of diabetes mellitus type 2, DVT, hypertension, and mitral regurgitation.  She lives alone at home and her daughter visits her between 2 and 3 times a day and check on her.  The patient is a poor historian and most of the informations about her were taken from the emergency department documentations, and bedside nursing staff.  The patient's daughter on noticed that the patient has been getting chills with generalized weakness but without documented fever at home.  No reports of abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, dysuria, chest pain, no difficulty breathing.  She brought her to the emergency department for evaluation where the patient was found to have fever 38.6° C. The patient initial workup showed lactic acid 4.2, leukocytosis 12.2, and COVID-19 PCR rapid test positive.  However the patient chest x-ray did not show any acute cardiopulmonary process.  After initial IV fluid 1 L bolus in the emergency department, lactic acid decreased from 4.2 down to 2.4.
