Spoke with one of my oldest friends a few hours ago.  About 60 years of friendship...

He a widow maker survivor and the misses suffers from MS.

They are both recovering after two weeks from what their docs figure is Covid.

Scary but out of the woods...

I have a young friend whose wedding I officiated about 5 years back.  Last night I was informed his wife has been taken to the ER just north of here with serious symptoms.  They expect confirmation today.  They have a 3-year-old daughter.  It's just wait and see from this point.

He had volunteered to come down and do some shopping for us (Bunny and I are in the over 65 group).  I told him thanks, but no thanks since we have a local grocery store that doesn't seem to draw a crowd at 8 in the morning on a Thursday when we shop.  And, that's our big day out these days.

Self-isolate and stay healthy.

I still haven't been tested for COVID-19 because I never got sick enough to go to the doctor. I seem to have caught a lower respiratory infection and an upper respiratory infection at the same time. Some of my symptoms are just common cold symptoms like from a plain old rhinovirus. I got something right up the ol' rhino, but I went from having a runny nose to my sinuses being dry as a bone for a week. That's really not healthy because there's nothing in there to flush out the germs. To be honest, I'd rather have the runny nose.

I haven't just had a tickle in my throat and a cough. The tickle went all the way down my trachea almost to the tip of my breastbone. That's not a cold symptom, but it was only real bad for a few days, and it's mostly a tickle in the throat now. The cough was bad for a few days, then not so bad a few days, and keeps nearly going away then coming back again. I don't have any trouble breathing, but when I take deep breaths there's some pain in the middle of my chest afterward. When I worked with a bunch of smokers and kept getting bronchitis, I could hear a crackling kind of sound in my lungs when I took a deep breath, but not now. The lungs sound good, and I always know before a doctor checks with a stethoscope.

If COVID-19 wasn't real bad around here I might think I just got a cold and flu at the same time. But if it was the flu, it should have been gone by now. My body does a pretty good job of fighting off bacteria but not viruses. I used to catch everything that was going around before I started getting flu shots every year. I had 2 different pneumonia vaccinations within the last few years too, and I think that covers 40 strains. So I might have COVID-19, but I think it's going to take more than that to kill me.

I still haven't read much of the thread, but I hope all of you and yours are doing well in this trying time.

Like JunboFrank said, I, and most of my family, had something a couple of months ago. Dry cough that would not go away, tickle in the back of the throat. It seemed to last a month or better before it went away. In KY CONVID-19 is not as bad as other states have it so I really don't know if we had it or not. At least what we had, while not fun, did not have the death punch CONVID-19 seems to have. Thank God.

Well, there is some good news with my young friends.  She tested negative for Covid 19 so apparently she just has a butt-kicking case of influenza.  Still, she is having breathing distress and a high fever, and a number of the Corona virus testing has come back with a false negative.  Locally, officials are saying a positive means positive, but a negative doesn't always mean negative.  We'll just have to wait and see.  They did discharge her, so she's home.  I don't know if that's good or bad.  Stay tuned.
