Hey @Q™I never get headaches, but I've had one for the past 2-weeks. Runny nose for 2-weeks also. Congestion is getting worse not terrible but it's increasing. Started sneezing yesterday. Inside for the past 7-days, home from work for the past 5-days. I don't feel terrible but something's wrong...I feel sick. I've stayed home out of concern that I may have the ConJoboVirus and, if I do, I was worried that I may spread it to others...particularly folks I've worked with for decades, one of whom has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD). If she gets sick she's gonna be in trouble. But fuQit: the President says there is nothing to worry about...and -- apparently -- there's isn't because I don't warrant testing...so I'm going out shopping at Costco today. I'll be certain to post a Toilet Paper Advisory Alert (TPA) when I get there fellas.
I'm going out.
Far and away, the Republicans and Fox News most definitely have a vastly superior lie-producing-network-machine in place...HOWEVER...the Democrats are working very hard to catch up. This is a veritable BULLSHIT ARMS RACE with no truth too small to bend, twist, distort, or deceive Americans.They dont just lead, the demolish. For example in the week of Feb 3 - feb 9 they had 4.4 million viewers. MSNBC had 1.6. CNN 1.1.
Lol. The left has had a lie producing system in place for many years it’s called the mainstream media they controlled it and they lie. The reason fox and talk radio Is so successful is because they expose those lies. The Democratic Party has become to Socialist partyFar and away, the Republicans and Fox News most definitely have a vastly superior lie-producing-network-machine in place...HOWEVER...the Democrats are working very hard to catch up. This is a veritable BULLSHIT ARMS RACE with no truth too small to bend, twist, distort, or deceive Americans.

Thanks for sharing your story. Sorry to hear about your illness. Sounds miserable.This map shows where and how many:
I don't know if this has been posted before. The numbers are not correct because they have not been testing. The CDC has only done 77 tests in the last week. The individual states have only done on average 100 each in the last week. Total failure as far as testing goes. Too much denial and inept management by those appointed to departments responsible for protecting Americans.
My wife was admitted by our GP under COVID-19 protocol. Pneumonia all lobes, fever and dry cough. She was patient zero for this hospital and news of her being admitted spread through the hospital like wildfire. They were freaked out. She works at an international airport. She was discharged and is recovering at home. She could not get tested. The Dr., not our GP, refused to test her because she had not been overseas. She had severe chills a couple days before being admitted. On the day she was admitted I also had severe chills for about twelve hours and a 100-101 fever for two days. The worst chills I have ever had. I am 65. A headache ever since. Do we have it? Who knows. Can we infect others if we have it? Again an unknown.
This is why the infection rate is going to explode and overwhelm the system. Ignoring the problem early on and not slowing it down will have deadly consequences. We have self isolated but I am sure many out there will not. When the system gets overloaded doctors will have to decide who will live and who die. These decisions are now being made in Italy. We are a week to ten days behind them. Be safe out there.
Q - sorry to hear about your illness. I would agree with the other post regarding your temperature. I'd monitor that closely. The headaches is probably from watching the news and the stock market tanking. The rest sounds like a cold or seasonal allergies. Good for you for hunkering down except for the lapse in doing a Costco run. Hoping for a speedy recovery.I never get headaches, but I've had one for the past 2-weeks. Runny nose for 2-weeks also.

My wife is tenacious. She even called the CDC. I feel sorry for whoever she talked to. She is finally getting tested later today and was told it would take two weeks for results... SMHThanks for sharing
Why are you constantly introducing politics into this?Far and away, the Republicans and Fox News most definitely have a vastly superior lie-producing-network-machine in place...HOWEVER...the Democrats are working very hard to catch up.

Excellent!!! We need more citizens like her! Push hard on those we pay to help protect society.My wife is tenacious. She even called the CDC. I feel sorry for whoever she talked to. She is finally getting tested later today and was told it would take two weeks for results... SMH
Meawhile, over at the local Costco, toilet paper and wipes are nowhere to be found and bottled water is going fast. The store was busier than usual, but not packed. However, All of the shoppers struck me as strangely reserved and silent. The checkout belt has always creeped me out, and given the current state of affairs I decided to leave all my items in the cart and asked that they be hand-scanned directly in the cart. One of the checkout ladies seemed offended by this; she gave me a disapproving look. I told her “everything is going to be ok”. And indeed I have no doubt that everything is going to work out just fine. But I have to say that this entire affair has shown me — one again — how little appreciation I have had in the past for the blessings my life has provided.I just got back from my local Walgreens and the shelves w. hand wipes,toilet paper, disinfectant were all bare...
I Think it is because people have a tendency to follow along with hysteria and panic. One group of people got the impression that TP was essential for survival of this virus, video surfaced of women fighting over TP in Australia, and it goes viral in this connected age, and without thinking some think they have to follow suit.I still don't understand why TP is in short supply....also, canned goods cleared out of Walmart was interesting. Do they think the power company is going to shut down because of Corona? Is there a hurricane Corona off the coast of FL?
