I also found an excellent description of the earliest symptoms of COVID-19, written by a Chinese doctor who had been treating COVID-19 patients in China; this description was written for the doctor's relatives who were asking him, "How will we know if we are getting COVID-19?" (Quite different from the CDC's description of symptoms, I must say.)
Advice to U.S. doctors in case of future pandemics: Yeah, I get it that you're too busy to prowl around on the web looking for useful information about how to treat the "novel" disease you are encountering. So recruit a genuinely intelligent, curious person you know (mature teen to elderly person, any age will do) to prowl around. Tell them to look for info from the country of origin of the disease. Tell them to search for info from "alternative" docs and other obscure sources in the U.S. Be open-minded when you read what they turn up.
