After feeling generally a little off today I just recorded a 100.3 temp to go with a sore throat and mild cough. Oh boy

It's getting pretty serious here in Seattle now. I thought it wouldnt but they just closed all bars and restaurants this morning. No public get togethers or forms of entertainment with groups. Cons etc are included. My boss is considering closing the stores but I dont know. We'll see. The streets have been empty. People are still out and about tho. I think people are starting to see it's pretty serious here now tho. Guess I should take more precautions.

I'm not sick tho so I'll hopefully be alright. I keep myself clean.

I understand how frightening that is. I’m not getting better or worse myself.

Fever is climbing. Woke up with chills - 101.1. I am so royally ****ed

How old are you? Do you have any underlying health issues?

I feel fine, but I suspect its only a matter of time at this point. We've had numerous deaths in the West Midlands and there's no way the official figures are accurate. People are not being tested so the official number of 1,400ish has got to be the tip of the iceberg.

They reckon it could go on until Spring 2021 with 8m Brits needing hospital treatment

I feel pretty much normal. Who knows? Maybe I had it and it stayed mild and I built a resistance. I am snotty like allergies though.

I’m 25 and have no other problems, though I’ve smoked weed pretty much daily for like 6 years

I guess my biggest fear is the long term problems that scientists are finding. I’ve seen on multiple occasions that doctors in China reported recovered patients seeing potentially permanent lung damage. They are out of breath after simply walking briskly. That is horrifying to me

Thought you were older than 25

That's a compliment BTW.

I've got asthma but it doesn't really affect me anymore, I'm not worried for my own health.
