I got the flu February 27th and I wonder if it was corona. I assume not, but I hope it was. Started with sore throat. Next day I felt like I'd gotten run over by a truck (in terms of aches/pains) and I had a temp of 101-102 for 4 days. Had shortness of breath but I had asthma when I was a kid and used to be a smoker so it's not unusual for me to have that as a regular flu symptom. Took about two weeks for full recovery though the last half of that I didn't feel that bad, but was coughing poo poo up from my lungs being hosed up.

I don't think I really had a dry cough or I'd say it was for sure corona, but it does appear that some people don't get that symptom.

Postmodernity means the exhilarating freedom to pursue anything, yet mind-boggling uncertainty as to what is worth pursuing and in the name of what one should pursue it.
PSA: Asthma never goes away.

Even if you have less attacks or manage it better as an adult (especially with healthier lifesty-hahaha) it is an underlying health condition which you need to report if, god forbid, you need to seek care for respiratory symptoms.

edit:Possibility of lower basal body temps in sedentary (and obese) impacts what a fever is. We are, as a country, looking at lowering the average body temp due to lifestyle changes over the past 100-years.

You can't quarantine the weak and old. Is a large group of people, and a large group of the workforce, including medic personal. If you send home everyone [from the senate] older than 60, only 14 people will attend it, I believe.
People live with families, caretakers. Do you quarantine these caretakers too?.

Quarantining the old is another way to say "let the old and weak people die". Eugenics.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics

Young people is still going to die. The whole hospital system will collapse, with doctors and nurses inside. Everyone having a medical problem may die too.
Maybe other social systems will collapse too. ( Have fun if the police forces are reduced to only a few officials)

Facing certain or probable death, maybe most prisons will revolt and escape. If you see somebody your age -5 die, and you see that you will die next. What you have to lose? what they can do? , kill you?

Taking this option would also create a horrible wound on the society, a undeletable Sin, future generations will look at it, think about the horrible things that generation did. Maybe learn the worst from it, than killing the weak is a good thing. Maybe we have to stop that idea here just now.

We will grown older, and weak. Everyone will one day be weak.

Has a society, if we don't protect the old and the weak, we don't deserve to survive.

Theres bones from people living 100.000 years ago, from people that would not have survive withouth a lot of care from others.

Is not a thing we do, let the weak die. Is not how we are defined has human beings.

https://www.aliexpress.com/ They have no rules about price gouging so prices are a lot higher than they were 6 months ago, and it'll take a month to get anything to you, but they have them for sale and are shipping them out.

Seriously people, you do not need n95s. You know who does? I do, and all the people I work with. I'm in the room with covid patients every day and we have almost no n95s to go around. When we run out and I've got to collect a covid swab on somebody's mom, or dad, or kid, or grandparent, am I going to have to just pray they don't cough (they all do)? Then hope I don't give it to coworkers, or worse, my wife and son?

Stay home, wash your hands, cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze.

if you are getting away by going out to the actual wilderness and wont be around other humans fine, but if you are going to a small backcountry town to "get away" like thousands of other brilliant people you are just going to die on a cot in an even more crowded school gymnasium or church

Speaking of thermometers, what's the best way to get one right now? The only one I have is for my kids and it's one of those you swipe across the forehead but it's always sucked major rear end with giving you accurate results. As of now, no stores near me have any and amazon has poo poo or won't deliver until end of April.

That one you have is the best one because you're not getting another one until April/may at this point.

Edit: I had a difficult time even ordering the button batteries mine needed because it was dying.
