Dude but flu shots are wonderful. First time it was like "I'm achy and I have excess snot." Second time was "I'm kind of achy and I wonder if it's just sympathy for my kid who is coughing." Third time is "you know? I'm going to sleep all day and not leave the couch."

If you told me I had coronavirus RIGHT NOW I would not be surprised. We were on a plane Sunday, we were on a plane the Sunday before that, we spent a week putting on other peoples' rental ski gear and the entire resort was clammed up in the building because we got four feet of snow in two days. Presume symptoms typically run towards mild and I could easily have coronavirus.

Time to get dog-in-safety-glasses on this shit

Yeah I started getting flu shots once I had the flu the first time. I remember Monday feeling a bit shit, Tuesday like I had been punched in the face by peak Mike Tyson, and Wednesday I wasn't moving out of my bed.

Hopefully the ol' corona steers clear of our islands but I doubt we'll remain free of it for long. Plus I work in and around a Hospital! Joy.
