Me. I'm eating Chinese food tonight.

Oops, the media says that's wrong. I'm eating "COVID-19" food tonight.

Well, I've got a shot at it. I was around a relative who later developed symptoms. She has been tested and we should have the results in a few days. Now, understand she is a heavy smoker with mild asthma and severe allergies, so she develops these symptoms every year around this time anyway, but we are playing it safe. She also has no fever. Also keep in mind I was around her long enough ago that if I had the virus I should have symptoms by now and neither me or my wife do.

If she tests positive, then my wife and I will be eligible for testing, which we will do. I'm not worried about getting it even though I'm in my late 60s. My respiratory system is in excellent shape and my immune system is very good. I do worry about my wife because she has asthma.

I know one thing, I'm damn glad I quit smoking 18 years ago.

Wife says we already had it. Late December we had some out of town guests from Tunisia. Both showed up sick.

The three of us here in the house all got sick with the exact symptoms in early January.

Mrs. is an MD and there's no hospital or ER in our small town.

It's only a matter of time....

My wife is a nurse as well.

Anyone in the healthcare industry on the front lines is at risk.

Then you both should alert the necessary people and donate platelets to help build a vaccine

My neighborhood chatter type webpage (Nextdoor) has a few posts from elderly people scared out of their wits. One needs BP meds and the doctor refuses to refill without a wellness check. Has no Teledoc availability. The woman is in her 80s and does not want to go to her doctor's office. Another cannot drive and is out of soap and toilet paper etc. A neighbor is going over to help. This is all ridiculous.

I hadn't been to a doc in 30 years. recently after flying, I got a high fever(102.8) which lasted two days, massively dehydrated, and a dry cough. its possible I had it, but when I went to the doc it wasn't even a thing yet.
