COVID-19

[Phishfan]

I only know of one person for sure that was tested. Someone at work, who lives with their sister who got it, was quarantined for two weeks and had to pass to come back to work.

I tested positive for CV-19 today.  
Have had a fever bouncing around the 99-101 range since Friday, with a very minor cough.  Day 6-8 is supposed to be the worst as far as symptoms, so we'll see how it goes.

I hope your recovery is quick, easy, and without complications or setbacks.

Let me just tell you guys, the test is the flat out pits.

Imagine the absolute farthest you could possibly tolerate a swab being stuck up your nose.  Then go three inches past that.

It's like they're trying to touch your brain.

From what I can tell, everyone on the site is healthy...no cases.

I still don't know anyone personally who has shared that they have 100% had the virus and tested positive.
Today, I do have my first case of someone directly related to someone I know dying of it.  My friend's grandmother died of COVID-19 yesterday.

My mother was supposed to have gone on a vacation right when this thing was starting to blow up. She was going on a tennis holiday with 3 friends and didn't want to break up the doubles-arrangement by being the only one to cancel. My siblings and I banded together and pretty much forced her to cancel. The other three all went and sent daily pics and updates about how great it was. One of them started showing symptoms on the way back, tested positive, wound up on a ventilator for a few weeks, and then died.

All I can say is that I am very grateful that we managed to keep our mom from going.

Very sorry to hear this news.  Be sure to do exactly what they tell you to do in order to get over it.  COVID is nothing to be messed with.  Not to try to scare you, but the father-in-law of one of my best friends died from it.  He was older and had a lot of health issues already so I'm sure that contributed to it.  But just do what the doctors tell you to do.

Wow....that's crazy.  Glad you made the choice you did.  Socially, this has been a little difficult to manage.  You have to battle feeling rude for the way you act.  Sometimes, we get a little lax in my family, but generally are doing the right thing.

Things are starting to open up but things won't be the same. I for one need to start interacting with people again.

I am 100% great with the lockdown.  My wife and I's relationship couldn't be stronger.  People suck for the most part anyway.

On behalf of the entire 49ers organization, I wish you a speedy recovery...

I hope you recover quickly without getting the worst of effects.  I'm sure you've read up on all the homeopathic remedies out there.  I've always been a believer in drinking tonic water (which contains a small amount of quinine) to help stay hydrated and reduce aches & pains.  I always try to drink it after a hot day in the sun golfing or working, as it helps you hydrate better than water, and reduces/eliminates the leg cramps from the dehydration.  Then there is also zinc which helps reduce the severity of colds.  These aren't a cure, but they can help with reducing the symptoms. Good Luck!

Please keep us updated as possible. Wishing you the best.

Yeah, I saw that test on Facebook. I replied that it looked more like a 3rd world IQ test, lol. Hope you recover quickly Spider. Keep us updated on the symptoms and how you're doing. Take care guy, wishing you all the best.

And a little Tanqueray and Lime makes it even better

Thank you all for your concern.  I sincerely appreciate it.

Holy crap Spider! I'm very sorry to hear this. Hopefully you'll kick this fairly easy. I'm praying for you and yours as you go through this difficult time.
