I had cold symptoms Sunday, tested positive Monday and isolating right now. Male, 46, heavy smoker and not fit at loving all. Not that fat though. Fever is gone since a day or two and now it's mostly runny nose.

This might age badly but I totally get where the chuds get "It's just a flu" from. The randomness of this thing bugs me.

But I'm doing my part at least.

If possible, invest in a blood oxygen meter, they cost 30 - 40 Euro Dollars to be on top of possible happy hypoxemia.

Yeah I hadn't realized people would actually be tested beforehand, that makes more sense as an experiment. But really what it's testing is if someone still brings covid in despite being tested, right?'

A relevant story:

One weekend several years ago I went to an OUTDOOR festival called Emissions. Lots of drinking and drug use and general shennanigans. The whole thing was a gross petri dish of shared fluids and close quarters.

Anyways, it comes to pass that some kind of bizarre and dangerous variant of flu had spread rapidly, beginning to strike most people on the final day, which was then termed the Belden Death Flu, Belden town being the location of the festival. Not sure if the conditions allowed a normal flu variant to mutate into something worse but this flu was one of the most hosed flus I've ever had.

I was already wrecked enough from all the drugs and sleepless nights but then having to drive a bunch of us home, some of them beginning to vomit from the flu and myself beginning to hallucinate as I drove. No one else was in any state to drive though and I wouldn't trust them to anyways, I'm good at maintaining focus in adverse conditions. When I somehow finally made it home I took my temperature straight away and it was over 102, so it was basically a miracle I even got back and didn't kill us all.

Facebook later informed me that hundreds of other people had fallen prey to the Belden death flu, probably half of them couldn't go to work the next week and, oh yeah, it was finals week in the UC system so the death flu probably ruined a couple lives at minimum. So yeah, even an outdoor festival can result in a massive outbreak if people have no prior reason to be concerned.

This happens every year at Oktoberfest in Munich (RIP). We call it the "Wiesn-Grippe" and it usually strikes Munich in calender weeks 41 and 42.

Usually comes from all the singing, screaming, kissing and whatever type of fornication that ensues in addition to the mugs not being washed hot&long enough between uses.

I remember an article depicting the actual huge financial impact this has on the economy, but I can't seem to find it.
