22. No, I'm really not an OP type person.

But I’ve mentioned it on different threads.

It was no picnic, but as my doctor said it was a “ mild” case. Fever spikes to 102, 103, and 104 before it finally was gone. Never been that sick.

Had it not been for the pandemic, I would have just thought oh, dear, I’ve got a bad flu. I rarely get sick, but I would have just buckled down to ride it out. Wouldn’t have worried too much.

As it was, I was so freaked out, wondering as the fever climbed if something was coming behind it. Other than the debilitating headache, body aches, fatigue and dizziness, the chills and fever - I was lucky. No lung problems, which of course was what frightened me.

No underlying conditions, White, petite, female, good physical shape - and I’ve been staying home since the lockdown. 10 or so days before I got sick, I went to the store. Masked of course, but I’d never seen it so crowded and many without masks. Idiot walked right by me in the checkout line, no mask, laughing and talking loudly on his cell. Who knows. Masks are not magic, but I did everything I could.

I think there’s much they don’t know about this disease.

It all makes you wonder about the fact that Falwell recently teamed up with Tanuki Aug 2020 #1

Gosh that whole deal doesn't sound shady at ALL ... so, we'll loan you the money to buy it from us mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #5
Wonder what made him worth all that money, since it's obvious he was a shitty personal trainer... SunSeeker Aug 2020 #6
Well ... that assessment might depend somewhat on which metrics you're choosing to focus on ... mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #7
True, he apparently scored highly under the metrics Falwell used. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #8
Does that guy shave his arms? cwydro Aug 2020 #9
LOL. Well, bodybuilders do shave their bodies. It accentuates the mucles. SunSeeker Aug 2020 #12
Yeah, I know about that, but I think of bodybuilders as a bit more shredded. cwydro Aug 2020 #16
From what I've gathered, that's a body builder thing ... mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #13
Yeah, I somehow caught the virus at the beginning of August. cwydro Aug 2020 #18
Scary! Glad to hear you're okay, and welcome back ... mr_lebowski Aug 2020 #19
