I kind of want to do a poll. Because, I've been wondering...does anyone have COVID-19? Does anyone's family or friends? Do you know people who have died from it?

[I know people who have had it, and people who have died. No one close to me has died, more distant, and an old guy at church who I'd gotten used to seeing and saying hello to.)

Is everyone in quarantine? To what extent? Are you opening up next week or have you done so already?

Do you feel this weirdness, where some people are living in the world of COVID and others seem to be oblivious...wandering about as if it's not an issue?

I believe I have been fighting it for most of the last month, though I've not been tested or needed medical intervention. I'm on day 13 since developing respiratory symptoms and am thankfully on my second day in a row of feeling substantially better, so I really hope I'm finally getting out from under it. But it's all been very malingering, two steps forward, one step back kind of stuff, so just gotta keep resting and wait and see.

I'm not aware of anyone else in my circle who have had it, though I'm frankly appalling at keeping in touch.

I hope you start feeling better soon. I think if you start to turn around on Day 13, you'll be okay. But if you go past Day 14, get medical treatment. But am not certain - there's so much contradictory information out there.

I do know that one of my relatives was fighting something for three months, and she kind of describes the same thing you just did. But she didn't test positive for COVID, but it's also possible it was a false negative - they didn't go far enough up the nose.

though I'm frankly appalling at keeping in touch.

Yeah, so am I. If it weren't for my mother - I'd have no clue what was happening with the rest of my family.
