I just got over the normal-rear end flu, so I'm probably super duper susceptible to the virus. My idiot grandma doesn't cover her mouth when she coughs no matter how many times my grandpa and I demand she does, so if she gets it I'm as good as dead.

I have/had the roni. Got my official Yep, You A Plaguebearer talk from a doc on the phone today - drat near a month after my poo poo got hosed up. My little plague dot should be appearing in the UK tomorrow.

First symptom I noticed was fairly severe muscular and joint pain. Went to the gym, felt like someone had worked me over after s fairly light weight session. Woke up the next day, headache - mostly caused by fatigue and how stiff my neck was, super sore, feeling pretty damned cozy. Mild nose dribblin', light chesty cough. Over the next couple days got hotter and hotter and coughier and coughier and sorer, with my kidneys in particular hurting like an absolute motherfucker. Went to my bed on the Friday, woke up very confused on the Sunday, havingnhad a couple days of weird nightmare and the occasional "oh poo poo I'm drowning" panicky wake up. Fever sweats a bitch, tightness of chest a weird and unfamiliar feeling, absolutely gently caress that poo poo. Started to feel better, had a couple days of "aigt, just a cold, business resumes" and then BAM, back to fever and coughing and sissy bitch breaths. Repeat a few times, woo woo.

The roni seems to jam the door open for any old poo poo to come in and party with it, cause I also got some weird joint swelling, a bad batch of pinkeye and some kinda weird eczema looking poo poo that I am having good fun itching. Lower back feels stiff and achey, and getting weird electric shock feelings in my left leg when I cough - which is fun with a persistent cough. Assume this is a trapped nerve or some poo poo?

Eventually a friend called NHS 24 or whatever it's called now, went to see a veeeeeery well protected doc in a spacesuit who swabbed and took blood and scraped my throat. Few days later which I guess was today, got the Big Speech. Self isolate, warn every motherfucker you know, don't loving go anywhere. Had already self isolated, bored as poo poo, mostly flopping around coughing and being tired. Found out if I sit in a hot bath it eases the ol' chest. Have no idea whatcday/time suits happened on, since the days are merging and my sleeps an bit jacked. Got a buddy bringing me groceries. Feeling betterish now - less about to die, but still weak and fragile. Went for a walk (I live in a rural area, I wasn't gonna meet anyone to infect don't worry) and was aghast at the ding my staminas taken. Walked a mile, slept like some fucker had tranquilized me. Still feel warm, and the cough randomly comes back, but feeling better. Bless you Papa Nurgle.

Crazyweasel posted:

Do you mind sharing age and general health prior to? My last thread to reality is that it “might not be that bad for my age range (under 30)” but wondering how true that is

Mid 30s, generally keep pretty well. Underactive thyroid, that's about it. Am a fairly healthy guy, eat right and get a lot of exercise - mostly weights and swimming. Was in training for a triathlon prior to this. Oh, low blood pressure and occasional anaemia, which is apparently a family thing.

It wasn't the illest I've ever felt, tbh? Even when down with the sickness (oooah ah ah ah) i wasnt like hosed hosed. I've had gastric flus that were worse. But the rollercoaster you're fine now you're sick again now youre fine now you're sick again nature of it, plus the other illnesses coming along for the ride, THAT could eat a dick. And the shortness of breath was a bit spooky - I'm a barrel chested dude with lungs like a pair of garbage bags, I'm not used to struggling for breath. If I had a respiratory illness, I could seethat getting problematic very fast.

Think I got it off my buddy who's Chinese and was there. He was apparently someplace near Wuhan for new year. His wife had some roni style fever and coughing, but said she felt better after a week. Suspect this poo poo is everywhere, and most folk are sailing througb without noticing.

This is quickly becoming the only thing that makes sense to me with just how many people from all the gently caress over are getting it. The only real way that's possible if a bunch of people are Typhoid-Mary-ing their way around dumping it on people that are actually affected.

It was the pangolin who offered the disease to a Chinese man in the woods, he held the man at gunpoint and told him to swallow the liquid from a large steaming goblet with smoke coming out of it. The pangolin then let the man go. This is their revenge.
