You sure it’s not allergies?

I have no idea. Allergies give you weakness?

 

[Aggelos]

Goddamn it. Sneezing like nuts and feeling a bit weak today. I'll go to the hospital tomorrow if I still feel like this.

Call your doc. Try to make an appointment.
Wear a N95 mask (just in case, to protect yourself and the others). Go get tested, to see what's going on.

 

[hariseldon]

It's summer here and I haven't had contact with anyone with a cold. Also, I work at a hotel with multiple people from all over the world.

Colds can happen in the summer and how do you know you've not had contact with anyone with a cold?

 

[Insane Metal]

Colds can happen in the summer and how do you know you've not had contact with anyone with a cold?

Anyone with symptoms at least. But since I work in a hotel and have had Italians coming from Lombardy and yes, I had direct contact with them, I think it's prudent to check it, no?

 

[hariseldon]

If in doubt, just self-isolate. It's not like a test will make any difference to the outcome for you.

 

[Kacho]

They can make you feel a little groggy and off. I’ve been dealing with it all week because of the high tree pollen.

 

[Insane Metal]

Yeah well I don't want to have the risk of spreading this to other, specially in a hotel. I will check if I'm still feeling this way tomorrow.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

We as a family have quarantined. I even told my House Cleaner to not come until further notice

 

[Darkmakaimura]

The hospice pharmacy just delivered medication. I usually sign so I asked the delivery guy "don't I need to sign?" and he told me they're currently just delivering without signatures required due to the fact they don't want multiple people touching the same pen. Wow.

 

[cryptoadam]

Really the US should be at Italy/Spain levels right now. With how many people and cargo come into the US the fact that this hasn't become a runaway train *YET* should be taken as a big positive. And only 40 deaths mainly driven by the one old age home.

[sublimit]

Yeah well I don't want to have the risk of spreading this to other, specially in a hotel. I will check if I'm still feeling this way tomorrow.

Sometimes i do a triple-sneeze in a row and i will continue to sneeze unless i drink water. I always had this,i think it's some type of allergy.I don't think it's something serious when you don't have any other serious symptom (like constant goughing or fever) But yeah if checking will make you feel better do it. Being stressed by keep thinking about it is worse.

Goddamn buddy I hope everything is okay. Please send my regards to Mrs. Cheese and everyone else.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

I think I've been Bolsano'd

Feel like shit today. Hopefully it's just a lack of sleep and the new diet kicking in. Even in the worst flu seasons (like December just gone) I only feel rough for an hour or two. I have a super-human immune system.

In other news, work is having a meeting on Monday, management only, to discuss our action plan over the next few weeks. Hopefully it's a 3 week shut down. I've got some projects I want to do around the house

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Goddamn buddy I hope everything is okay. Please send my regards to Mrs. Cheese and everyone else.

Everything is fine. We have enough supplies for at least 15 days. Working from home.

We just don’t want to get it

 

[Captain Zyrain]

Wife went by the store and there was a line of cars backed up down the street just waiting to get INTO the parking lot. WTF mate.

 

[Joe T.]

The US media coverage of this pandemic is over the top fearmongering. I had NBC Nightly News on in the background when they brought up scenes from China showing people being dragged by their arms and feet into quarantine before leaving it with "Can that happen here?" Then they followed it up by mentioning Trump enacting the national emergency which "gave him extraordinary powers he could use to shut down communications and close bank accounts."

 

[Coolwhhip]

Everyone meeting up like crazy at supermarkets to panic shop, isn't that a big way to transfer the virus a lot?

 

[Captain Zyrain]

 

[M. Crassus]

So the patient is either 7 or 8 years old? What an odd way to put it.

Those Norwegian bug chasers have pushed the country into #2 in terms of cases per capita. Not bad.

Nah but seriously I worry about them.

 

[TheSadRanger]

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little curious what old Alex Jones' take is on all this.

 

[JordanN]

So I go check the local news about the virus and this is what I see.

The virus is probably safer at this point. I guess I'll re-assume my everyday activities.

Took a peek at Twitter since I really don't use it anymore and lo and behold a lot of the trending is "Trump bad" usual bs and The Atlantic saying the "Trump presidency is over" over this pandemic.

Twitter bias still intact. Cripes I'm no fan of his but ffs.

Same. I felt he did a good job, and was reassured that he is cutting through red tape to tackle the problems ASAP. But JFC I wish he trusted someone enough to tell him to lay off the self congratulating. And for fucks sake will someone just tell him to say "no comment" or "I'm not sure at this time" instead of rambling?

[infinitys_7th]

Swapped the link with snopes. He didn't say directly Covid19 is a hoax, but he did say that they were using it "as a hoax" against him. You really can only let him off the hook if you think he's smart enough to know the difference. Which he is not.

I mean, they are. Weeks ago the media was calling the coronavirus overblown and felating Xinnie and WHO.

Democrats are even trying to call Bat-Ass Fever (or its accepted name, Wu Flu) "Trumpvirus". They are using it as a hoax.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Just a reminder that they confirmed we've vastly overestimated the original number of cases.

We don’t test. Our numbers are fake

Welp then I should suspect you would have a factor of way more than 41 dead. If you think that you are Italy/SK/Wuhan levels there should be way more dead and hospitalized. Keep in mind SK only had 4% positive rate, 96% of the people they tested didn't have COVID-19.

Either the death numbers should be way up if the case numbers are a lie, or the disease is not as deadly/serious as made out to be. You can't have fake numbers and fake deaths as well.

Don't get me wrong I am not against testing, when testing is available and people have symptoms test them. And I am sure there are people out there with it not tested, but I don't think there is some trove of infected people and yet no one is dying. All though TBH I hope thats the case because then this thing will be a bit of a nothingburger if the reality is you can't have 1000's or 100 of thousands walking around untested not in hospitals and not dying.

It was poorly worded, but it's obvious that he was calling the Democrat's claims that his administration was handling it badly "a hoax" not that the Coronavirus itself was a Democratic hoax.

Here's a transcript:

Donald Trump Charleston, South Carolina Rally Transcript - February 28, 2020 | Rev

Donald Trump held a rally in South Carolina on February 28, 2020, where he called the coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak a "hoax". Read the transcript here.

www.rev.com

Here's the relevant portion.

Donald Trump: (05:44)
We are stronger, we are better, but while we are building a great future, the radical left Democrats in Washington are trying to burn it all down. They have spent the last three years, and I can even go further than that, three years since the election, but we go before the election, working to erase your ballots and overthrow our democracy. But with your help, we have exposed the far left’s corruption and defeated their sinister schemes and let’s see what happens in the coming months. Let’s watch. Let’s just watch. Very dishonest people. Now the Democrats are politicizing the coronavirus, you know that right? Coronavirus, they’re politicizing it. We did one of the great jobs. You say, “How’s President Trump doing?” They go, “Oh, not good, not good.” They have no clue. They don’t have any clue. They can’t even count their votes in Iowa. They can’t even count. No, they can’t. They can’t count their votes.

Donald Trump: (07:07)
One of my people came up to me and said, “Mr. President, they tried to beat you on Russia, Russia, Russia.” That didn’t work out too well. They couldn’t do it. They tried the impeachment hoax. That was not a perfect conversation. They tried anything. They tried it over and over. They’d been doing it since you got in. It’s all turning. They lost. It’s all turning. Think of it. Think of it. And this is their new hoax. But we did something that’s been pretty amazing. We have 15 people in this massive country and because of the fact that we went early. We went early, we could have had a lot more than that. We’re doing great. Our country is doing so great. We are so unified. We are so unified. The Republican party has never ever been unified like it is now. There has never been a movement in the history of our country like we have now. Never been a movement. So a statistic that we want to talk about, go ahead. Say USA. It’s okay. USA. So a number that nobody heard of, that I heard of recently and I was shocked to hear it, 35,000 people on average die each year from the flu. Did anyone know that? 35,000, that’s a lot of people. It could go to 100,000, it could be 27,000. They say usually a minimum of 27, goes up to 100,000 people a year die. And so far we have lost nobody to coronavirus in the United States. Nobody. And it doesn’t mean we won’t and we are totally prepared. It doesn’t mean we won’t, but think of it. You hear 35 and 40,000 people and we’ve lost nobody and you wonder the press is in hysteria mode. CNN fake news and the camera just went off, the camera. The camera just went off. Turn it back on. Hey, by the way, hold it. Look at this, and honestly, all events are like this. It’s about us. It’s all about us. I wish they’d take the camera, show the arena please. They never do. They never do. They never do it. They never show the arena. You can hear it because when you hear it, that’s not 200 people. That’s not a hundred people. That’s thousands and thousands of people including people outside. You can hear it. They always show my face. See that face? They show my face. I want them to show the arena, not my face, right? How many have you been to? How many rallies have you gone?

The two bolded underlined parts are the connected portions in his usual stream of thought rambling he does at rallies.

Basically, "They are trying to politicize the Coronavirus situation. They are saying we are not doing very good in handling it and they have no idea. Their claims are just another hoax to try and take me down."

I text my friend that works at a local strip club. I asked her if it was dead. She told me it's insanely packed. Kinda surprised me. People stressed need some T&A I suppose.

Where do you live?
Most of the world is short on testing kits, and as long as you're feeling generally well going to a doctors office is only going to a) risk spread to others and b) increase the risk you may actually get the novel coronavirus if you don't already have it.

Call your doctors office first before you go (do not rely on 811) - make sure they have the kit and will test you for it. Most offices have set up phone triage, and are advising people to self isolate if they have cold like symptoms.
