Yikes JZ oh no!!! Feel better soon!!
I do wonder when we will be able to test for already having had it. Because then you wouldn't have to worry and could help out and relieve someone who hasn't?? There are so many people here in Seattle who must've already had it, either mildly or they felt awful, but couldn't get tested.

Our wings are not tired.
Exactly, meara. In theory we could get tested because of our doctor connections, but with a lack of serious symptoms we are leaving the tests for those more needy. But we could very well be infected! We all could be. I don't want to be an asymptomatic carrier. But, you aren't supposed to test unless you are really sick. cough cough

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Meara, I read something that they really do not know anything about immunity once having it, or re-infection. so many unknowns with this thing.

meara, I've been wondering if ltc and I had it when we were so sick over February vacation, and I wish there was a way to find out.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Eventually, they'll have tests for antibodies, which will be able to identify people who have already recovered from it, but I guess the focus for now is ramping up the availability of tests for current cases, which I totally get.
I'm also vaguely wondering if the extra-nasty cold/cough I had in february was actually this, and I know my mom had a similar thing going on.

I've been feeling crappy all week and I keep wondering if I have it. I don't have any of the main symptoms (fever, dry cough, breathing difficulties), but supposedly sore throat and congestion are also symptoms? Of course they're also symptoms of every other crud out there, and without a fever there's no chance of getting tested...
Yikes, JZ! I'm so sorry you tested positive. I hope it passes quickly and leaves everyone else in your family alone.
