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.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

I mean, I guess the best thing is to assume you have it? Easy for me to say, only person in my household and my job can be done from isolation
Target/Shipt was surprisingly accurate with my grocery delivery - no tortillas and broccoli instead of sweet potatoes but the rest of the substitutions were virtually unnoticeable

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Health~ma to Chez Zmayhem. May the illness be mild and the isolation pass quickly.

Yikes! May JZ's symptoms continue to be mild and pass quickly.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Health~ma to the Zmayhem family! I'm glad to hear the symptoms haven't been worse.
What is the planned quarantine timeline?
For DavidS and Matilda, fourteen full days without symptoms? Starting when?
For JZ, fourteen full days after last symptom stops? More?

Ohio is indeed now on shelter in place. It should have happened a week ago.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Literally the only symptom I have is the fever--haven't even coughed today. For me, it's 14 days after symptoms end; for Hec and Matilda, it's 14 days from Friday evening, when I started self-isolating. If neither of them develops any symptoms then they're done and fine; if symptoms start, then 14 days from when they end. I feel ridiculously normal.
