Pfft! Get back to me when they start testing only the people who are deathly ill. -- nm - Mop Mar 22, 09:42
In fun news, i am now confined to spare room. Woke up yesterday feeling "off". Temp went up a degree in afternoon. Today temp down but have a slight - Andie Mar 22, 09:14 24
- Oh no. I disallow you from being sick. Tell any potential bacteria I demanded that they exit your body. -- nm - David Mar 22, 09:53
- Feel better and quickly! -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Mar 22, 09:33
- take care -- nm - Beaker Mar 22, 09:32
- I did the same thing earlier this week. Luckily it was just my allergies announcing themselves. -- nm - spamlet Mar 22, 09:27 5
  - Same here, it was allergies. Sniffle and watery eyes, no more than that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 09:34
  - It is so hard to tell with the symptoms. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:34 3
    - Yeah my temp was only up a degree but I felt it was better safe than sorry. - spamlet Mar 22, 09:38
    - What are the positive numbers like in your area. Are you in a hot spot? -- nm - Bacon Mar 22, 09:34 1
      - Not especially. But i did work this past week AND people in my office travel. A lot. Though not the past couple wks of course. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:35
- ack, feel better! -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:22
- You weren't supposed to win that! -- nm - con_carne Mar 22, 09:19 2
  - Watch Andie’s body somehow wins us the breakthrough cure. -- nm - Qale Mar 22, 09:23 1
    - Omg -- nm - con_carne Mar 22, 09:23
- that news is no fun. Be Well -- nm - mud Mar 22, 09:18 1
  - Most upset being.. My cat. Locked out and NOT happy. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:18
- Oh, no. All good thoughts to you! -- nm - mara Mar 22, 09:16
- I called Public Health. Stay isolated. Monitor and track symptoms. Call 911 if i can't hold a conversation... 😷 -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:16 7
  - let's keep her talking! fingers x'd -- nm - prayformojo Mar 22, 09:20 6
    - I feel FINE. If this wasn't a thing i wouldn't bat an eye about how i feel right now... -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:21 5
      - I have been having a weird serious of thoughts. Do I want it now when the hospitals aren't at capacity? Or do I want it later when there may be a - Bacon Mar 22, 09:23 3
        
        There is definitely that. Our hospitals are totally okay for capacity, right now, so.... Also, it may be something else, of course. -- nm - Andie Mar 22, 09:25 2
        
        Yep. I am no statistician, but odds are it's something else my guess. I have had a cough since I had the flu in late January. - Bacon Mar 22, 09:27 1
        
        Like you said. Any other year I just cough and go about my day. This year it's different -- nm - Bacon Mar 22, 09:27
      - Healthiest ST'er ever! -- nm - Andie's Personal Doctor Mar 22, 09:23
Does that mean they remain asymptomatic or they are they just catching cases early (before symptoms) since they are testing everyone? - ty97 Mar 22, 09:10 5
- I'm guessing they're doing widespread testing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 22, 09:32 1
  - I should hope so. I think the US was the only country that rejected the WHO test AFAIK -- nm - con_carne Mar 22, 10:04
- I haven't seen stories on it yet, probably too soon. But, I am wondering if we can test antibodies in us so we can find out if we had it. - Bacon Mar 22, 09:20 2
  - yeah, I'm thinking at some point we are going to need this, to let part of society start functioning again, maybe? -- nm - ty97 Mar 22, 09:23 1
    - I keep going back to Contagion and how close it is. Get an antibody test that says you have immunity now, and you wear a badge and can go anywhere. -- nm - Bacon Mar 22, 09:25
