Coughing up blood specks or droplets in this setting is almost certainly a sign of more severe airway inflammation than influenza or cold. As has been said before, you need to assume that you have the virus. Avoid people as much as possible, and seek treatment if your breathing problems worsen. The fact that you can’t get tested is a travesty.

Speaking of not getting tested, my daughter continues to improve. I’d bet thousands that she has Covid-19, but for now we won’t know, as she didn’t qualify for testing either.
