I MIGHT HAVE CORONAVIRUS AMA

Every case so far is within biking distance, in pretty much every direction. My kid's school is trying to decide when to close. The last community college I went to is closed because their nursing program went to Life Care Center on the daily.

My kid had snuffles maybe three weeks ago. I'm sure 2/3rds of her class did. We went to Alaska for a week where my wife had snuffles Thursday through Sunday. We got back in Monday and I had a lot of flop sweat - I assumed this was from the bourbon I had Sunday which makes me sweat sometimes. But it continued Tuesday - yoga was dumb sweaty and I was wiped. Then it continued Wednesday and I was wiped. Thursday I started to cough, Friday I did very little, Saturday I was able to cook a meal, Sunday I was almost better, Monday I was almost ready to resume my life and then Monday night I ended up with a preposterous ear infection that kept me up all night which pretty much skunked yesterday, Hubski Craft Fair be damned. It no longer sounds like a tapped watermelon when I click my teeth but I still have a dry cough.

Took my temperature Sunday, when the whole world had gotten into full freakout mode. got like 97 degrees. So I have no evidence I ever had a temperature but I'd rather believe I'm getting over Coronavirus than getting over another dumb flu (yes I had a flu shot, yes I've already had mild flu this season) than the flu again so that I still have Coronavirus to look forward to.

And it's not like I'll ever know anyway.
