Doctor thinks I have Covid19

SARS or MERS - you don't eat camel do you? A new, new coronavirus - you don't eat bat do you? A common cold coronavirus - some can be surprisingly nasty. Get well soon TG, keep up the info. Thanks!

I eat some surprisingly weird stuff, but never camels, bats, or other spiny animals. Seriously, what are the Chinese doing eating these things? Yuck. 

If this is merely a cold I always thought that a cold was without a high fever? My fever without moderating tylenol/advil has been right around 102. It really kicks my behind when i am sitting that high, however. I was trying to watch a show called The Expanse and I don't think my brain is working right because I can rewatch an episode I can see that I have already watched and it is all new. 

I am really tired of coughing so hard that I get dizzy and my head hurts. Sneezing is always fun, though. 

Hey maybe you are patient zero and have mutated your very own version of Covid19. Now that would be exciting. Take care and get better soon. My personal get well arsenal contains strong cups of tea - and plenty of them, and chocolate digestive biscuits. It's a winning combination. It works particularly well whilst you are wearing your pajamas and watching an old movie. xx

Love The Expanse.  Miller is one cool dude.  And Bobbi she could kick anyone's butt... but seriously please rest.  

My backup plan was chloroquine which supposedly shipped two weeks ago, but was told today the order was going to be refunded i(darn, I was really looking forward to the 6 free Cialis).  Just kidding, so it will be Sambucol and essiac tea for me.

Turbo your test is most likely what they are calling presumptive positive. They have to send to CDC for confirmation

Anyway, the guy showed up and I walked out onto the balcony. I said to him, hey just leave the boxes there on the ground and I will come get them when you're gone.  He said that he couldn't do that and why was I telling him to set them down there anyway and was I going to tip him? I said, "I have coronavirus, do you really want cash from me or for me to touch anything that is yours?" He said, "I see...." Set the boxes down, got in his car and drove away. Seems like the answer was no.  At least now I have Asparagus!!!

You may well be his first case of corona virus. I bet you scared the pants off him. I had no idea you have to tip the delvery guy. We don't tip anyone here in NZ. I've tried to but I've been followed out of a number of cafes for leaving money on the table and they've given it back to me. lol.
