My answer to that is PHONE YOUR PRIMARY CARE DOCTOR. They can help you make a decision on how serious the ailment is. It's safer to go to the doctor's office than the ER. Most doctors are sitting around doing nothing because everyone is afraid to go in at this time.

How many Americans don't actually have a primary care doctor? Meaning their best option is to wade into an ER? (I don't know the answer)

Old data, but this study measuring the percentage of Americans with PCPs indicates that:

 - 77% of all adults had primary care physicians in 2002, falling to 75% in 2015.
 - 71% of 30 year olds had PCPs in 2002, falling to 64% in 2015
