Could also load up on Lysol. Take a long ass needle and inject it into the lungs as a preventive measure.

If people were willing to fight a virus like they fight a war against an invading army things would be different. Worship of individualism and capitalism is the undoing of the US. Nice for the people who can afford to stock shit and hide in bunkers. People who've been living paycheck to paycheck will come for your ass regardless.

The downward trend in Michigan is over :(.

I wonder how much time spent in re-circulating AC air contributes to spread. I the north people open their windows and get fresh air. Arizona and Texas mid-summer is the other cabin fever season. Similar for Florida with the humidity if you're not right on the beach where you might be able to catch a breeze.

What is "mild" anyways? I had one of the worst fevers in my life back in early March, but since I was only bedridden for 3 days and never felt so bad I might die if I don't go to the hospital I couldn't get tested. For COVID-19 it wasn't that bad, but I'm having a lot of trouble believing it was something else because I'm 40 and haven't had influenza since childhood. The symptoms were either influenza or a short COVID-19 case. A positive antibody test would make me feel better. It's still worth it even if false positives are possible. Whatever it was my wife got it exactly a week after me. Both my parents were exposed to us before I realized it might not have been influenza, so I was nervous for a while. My father has heart disease.

I had a bad cough and 102 F fever a couple nights in a row about 2 weeks ago. I get colds and bad intestinal stuff a couple times a year but I don't recall the last time I had full-blown flu symptoms like that. I'd probably have to go back to childhood. Thankfully I was only really sick for about 3 days. I want to the doctor but there was no test. They said 90% likelihood it was influenze B or H1N1 (even though I had a normal flu shot last October). It would have been nice to know for sure what it was and why the flu shot didn't prevent it. I didn't travel anywhere but now it's a little concerning that random celebrity cases are turning up. It's a worry if non-severe cases are slipping through untested.
