Well, my wife started having a fever 4 days ago and I started today.  Embrace the suck.

Get better pal :hug:

The implications of "flatenning the curve" is slowly dawning on me that I will likely eventually get this thing. I guess I need to be prepared emotionally and physically for that as much as possible.

So all that stuff about it being dangerous for the elderly and those with diabetes is false?

Be careful. I posted with that line of reasoning a few weeks ago and Tamas and Zoupa labeled me an edgelord.  :P
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Those two things are high risk factors. So is being a male. Avoid the virus as long as you reasonably can.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

No. Are you elderly and diabetic?  :huh:

Nope, I think I fall between the cracks, but that won't kill me; just need to make sure this virus isn't going to kill any of the family before I eventually get it.  :bowler:

For a laugh I tried to sign-up for the government UC benefit, I think come interview time, when I explain what I'm doing I'll not be eligible anyway.

But then I've always got free healthcare to 'fall back on', live in a rural area, I'm not in a vulnerable minority and most of my countrymen seem reasonable and none are buying guns in preparation for social collapse.  :bowler:

So I think somehow we'll muddle through, but afterwards I'll notice some of the older people I used to chat to or who were nodding acquaintances aren't out and about anymore.
