Thanks man.

It's weird. I'm having some light chest pain today and an occasional sharp pain when I breathe in deep. I think it might be stress/anxiety related. I just took an Ativan to see if that helps. I've had this since yesterday. The test today would have came back positive so I'm not sure what is going on. My body is a mystery right now.

Sounds like FAUXVID-19.

I hope you and your girlfriend are still ok, Exo. My advice would be; try not to worry. For the majority of people covid-19 isn't serious.

Triage: the sorting of and allocation of treatment to patients and especially battle and disaster victims according to a system of priorities designed to maximize the number of survivors.

Though it's not in the definition, I always thought it meant dividing patients into three groups:
1, whatever we do, he'll probably die.
2, he'll probably live.
3, our treatment will determine if he lives or dies.

In the dire circumstances and limited facilities of battlefield hospital tents, group 3 got attention first; Triage can be as ugly as f***. Let's not loose sight of that if politicians start throwing the word around like they've started doing with "herd immunity" - as if it doesn't stand for a terrible situation that most people would ordinarily recoil from.

Daily Covid-19 cases in the US reached a record high on Thursday, with experts warning that death rates could triple by mid-January.

There were 88,521 new cases of the coronavirus reported in the US on October 29, according to data from Johns Hopkins University -- 9,540 more cases than Wednesday.

In total, there have been 8,944,934 cases and at least 228,656 deaths in the US -- 971 of them on Thursday, JHU data shows.

I predict it carries on through 2024 and kills 4,000,000 Americans.

US coronavirus cases hit record daily high and experts warn daily death rates will triple by mid-January

Dana and I tested negative again today. This is her 2nd negative test and my 5th. She has successfully beat this sh*t and I somehow have avoided it. Looking forward to getting back to work.

Testing is much easier than earlier this year. I have a Walgreens 30mins away that does rapid POC tests. It's a swab but you don't have to go to the back of your brain. You're supposed to just go around your nostril like you're cleaning a toilet bowl but I also go in a bit deeper to get a good sample. It's really just the time and effort of driving over there. They're free tests.

That's great!
