Default Corona / Garage Quarantine

So, I had to do some cross country travel for work about 10 days ago. Started to develop a cough, I’m not feeling quite right. Since we are currently 100% telework I have quarantineD myself to the garage. Should have test results in a week. Maybe the engine will be pulled completely by then. :-)

Not sure.
My coworkers and I were holed up in a hotel room for about 8 hours collaborating on a presentation.
A couple of us have developed sore throats. May be seasonal allergies/ simple cold. But, gotta be prudent. Not too worried about getting Covid19, illness would probably not be severe. Just concerned about the overwhelmed Medical care centers. Let the curve flatten. Most will get this at some time. Just need to spread it out a bit.

Isolation in the garage for 2 weeks sounds perfect to me.

I think it's better to get it early, while there is still room in the hospitals and respirators available. Kinda a spin on the old "go ugly early" theme, in bars.

I've been hanging out at Costco, licking the floor.....

Thanks Bug,

No worries here.

Well, actually, that I can get the crank bolt to break loose on the first try.


Best,

John

Sending good thoughts your way, the news coming out of your region is horrifying.

Can't tell if this thread is serious, given the magnitude of comedic posts on social distancing, etc. online. If it is, hope you are okay. If not, lame attempt at funny.

In the meantime, back to regularly scheduled forum surfing for me...

Here's a link to a 29 yo recovered covid19 patient and her symptoms day-to-day. I tried to copy/paste but could not.

It starts with a 102-103 degree fever for two days, then coughing-up greenies - look for her Instagram post:
