Not surprised. Italy is going to continue to get smoked. The population is so incredibly old.

My sister and brother-in-law are getting tested as I type this. They've had mild fever/shortness of breath/cough/general fatigue.

I just came off antibiotics last Saturday for a "severe ear and sinus infection" and, after a day of finally feeling like I was getting better yesterday, I've been feeling pretty crappy again today. Feverish, post-nasal drip induced sore throat, body aches, and upper respiratory tickle/cough.

This is exactly the way I've been feeling most days since November. I'm still sticking to it being here even way back then. If I don't feel any better tomorrow, or if I notice further decline in my condition, I'll be trying to get tested as well.

I'm hoping it is allergies, but it has been going on since before spring allergy flare up, and I've never had allergies make me feel this cruddy.

Could be sickness and then allergies piling on. Being sick that long is abnormal. May as well go attempt to get tested just to know. It will at least allow you to be on higher alert if things turn on you.

96% of people who are tested, with symptoms, are negative for Coronavirus.

Lots of stuff going around right now, so hopefully you guys are dealing w allergies

 

On a side note, if we find out that this is like other virus attacks, then we will have a lot of Americans who are immune within 2 weeks.

I have thought already about what and where I could volunteer if needed.  But that would be after I get it and get over it.

Think our death rate as of now is around 1.28%

The malaria drug has everybody hoping

If I didn't have to travel for the next 4-6 weeks for work, I would totally do one of those studies to get it. fug it. 

I think it's valuable to get tested just for peace of mind if nothing else. I know so many people with mild symptoms or nagging sickness that are worried to death about it, which all that stress makes their immune system weaker anyway. If we had ample amounts of tests, I don't blame anyone for wanting to get tested if they are ill and need the peace of mind.

It was part of the reason I mentioned having some 20 somethings in the military go through the 2 weeks and be coming up clean by next week.

Would be great for all the military hospital ships not to be having to worry about anything as they possibly work with people.  Anyway, I would volunteer for it if I were in the military and all my health records looked good

100% agree. Pretty good odds you would just end up with mild symptoms at that age anyway.

Nope, I still have a full head of hair. If I start balding I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Let it grow.  Then you'll have something to wipe your ass with.

Once you get over the age of like 25 - if you choose to shave your head, and you are not bald or balding - it’s a bad look. Unprofessional IMHO. You have been blessed genetically to have a full head of hair you need to not spit in the hair gods face.
