Kiwis kissed by Corona - Official coofer thread

[Mr. 0]

@paintingatree has informed me that he thinks he may have it and is upset that he cannot play with his legos and pony toys in hospital quarantine

he suspects he may have got it from sexual contact with @LegendaryChristorian. I hope they both die from it.

I might have had it but then again unless I caught it on campus or from my paramedic uncle I dont see how I could have been infected.

Had horrible cough, muscle ache and on some ocassion breathing difficulty.
Still have some mild symptoms popping out from time to time 2 weeks afterwards.

Cant wait till this is over.

Not had any direct contact yet, but it's definitely inevitable for me so I'll join everybody in the quarantine tent.

Local supermarket has guards at the doors and is only letting in one person at a time as people check out and exit so as to limit the number of people in the building at any given moment. Line wasn't too bad yesterday, but it was threatening to rain so that was unpleasant. Probably for the best, the previous weekend it was an absolute madhouse and people were packed in the checkout lines. Also they stuck "social distancing" stickers on the floor now so people hopefully space out a bit.

Friday I learned that possession of a legitimate hospital ID badge entitles you to unrestricted movement when a quarantine order is in effect, in my state at least. Turns out there's a seal on the back that means "this person is essential to the functioning of a hospital so let him do his business." Hopefully not information I'll have a need for, but knowing is half the battle.

Fuck me "social distancing" is going to be the word of the year and I hate it.

I was informed by my job last night that I was exposed on Monday to someone who confirmed positive for it. On my last fucking day at work before they told us to work remotely. My exposure to them was 3 hours but we were on opposite sides in a large room and didn't interact, although that may be a cope.

Average timeline is people get symptoms in 5.1 days and I'm officially into day 6 right now,Definitely some psycosomatic shit going on. I was feeling fine until I got the phone call but temperature checks have been completely normal. No actual symptoms to report.

 

[Kled]

My job is only letting 3 people in at a time. A dorm tested positive for it but I have no idea where it is in proximity to this gas station. I've been feeling under the weather but there's no use in getting anxious over it. People who went "people are overreacting" last week are now losing their fucking minds now and it's very difficult to ignore. Just be cool and wash your ass. Wash your hands. Limit physical contact. Just try to go about your life mindfully.

my therapy sessions have been cancelled for the foreseeable future so I'm forced to deal with my anxiety and sad brain by being a normal human beings being rational.

 

[Rebel Wilson]

That being said, I have to fly back to Canada soon and go through screening and then another two weeks of quarantine because I'm coming from the Schengen region. I'll let KF know how screening goes and what it's all about.

I came from Europe and I'm on day 6 of quarantine. The customs kiosk asked a couple questions about if you have been in a region affected by COVID and if so if you are presenting any symptoms. Then it said that you are directed to have a 14 day quarantine. Then when you get to the customs officer they asked the same questions and handed me a piece of paper with one side about what quarantine means, and the other about what to do if you are sick.

Seemed poorly organized but idk.

My mom is sick with a tight chest but no fever. She just got back from Vegas as is fully fallen into doomerism.

See if they'll let you do it on video chat. There's a HIPPA compliant chat service I see people using now.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Ugh I thougt I'm getting better but today I felt like shit again. When does this crap end?

I also now have symptoms I didn't have when it started a few days ago. Idk if that's normal. At least I have no fever & can breathe just fine.

I've been using teladoc for therapy for months now and it's great. $20 copay per visit with my insurance.

Cases of cornavirus seem to have 2-3 waves. What are the new symptoms? It may be developing pneumonia rather then a resurgence of coronavirus.

I'm wondering if I had it. Last week of February, I had a fever, body aches, congested to high heaven and a bad, bad cough. Everything kind of subsided after about a week and a half, then I got hit with another fever, almost the same symptoms but this time with light headedness, tingling in the extremities, painful sore throat, but no congestion. That went on until about last Sunday. No shortness of breath or trouble breathing, or any chest pain though... And no one in my household got it, despite me presumably contaminating the whole place with my constant coofing.

 

[whatever I feel like]

I have a nagging, and gagging cough/excess of spittle but mostly whenever I drink orange juice and its been going on for six months so if I have it that makes me patient zero for the whole world.

 

[AnOminous]

You're all gonna die.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Low grade fever, body aches, chest pain and mild cough. No sore throat or congestion. Never thought I would be praying its flu. But I am praying its flu. it's definitely more a full body experience then upper respiratory so it's probably that . My daughter who is always around me is coughing too. No sniffles on her end though.

 

[MrBlueSocks]

The UK advice is to self-isolate of you have either of:

• a high temperature
• a new continuous cough

Can anyone define for me what a continuous cough is? How bad does it have to be to be considered WuFlu? Once a minute? Every 5 seconds? Can't sleep for coughing? Hurts / doesn't hurt?


I feel rough, headache, tight chest. But I'm only coughing once every couple of minutes. And it's not hurting. I had a complete mad bastard of a cough back in January that almost tore my throat out. Sick from coughing, non stop dry tickly etc. But this was way before the mad panic hit. There are plenty of Chinese students near me though. Hope that was it, probably wasn't.

 

[mindlessobserver]

Spoke too soon. Fever is up to 100.5 and I have started coughing and sniffling. Starting to feel like real dog shit too. I think this may be it . Taken a full dose of that nighttime flu and cold medicine I miraculously found. Symptoms have developed fast over 12 hours. Hold me kiwis.

Drink a shit ton of fluids man. And not just water, gotta get those electrolytes in. Real easy to get dehydrated with these colds/flus sticking around so long.

There is another nasty cold making its way around this year (hell, it could be a coronavirus, or even THE coronavirus, most doctors have written it off as a nasty cold) that causes weeks long coughing. If you have it now, sounds like a mild case.

I had exactly that and it didn't stop until about a month ago. It really sucked.

This sounds exactly like what I had in November. I kind of doubt it was Wu flu, but some of the symptoms overlapped and the weird "phases" the illness came in leapt out to me as unusual. I was fine, but one of my coworkers was hospitalized with pneumonia from it, but she had health issues to begin with.

Everyone on my team caught it, but I didn't infect my husband, but I also slept in a separate room to not keep him awake coughing.

Whatever it is, it's been going around all winter, I've heard about a lot of people getting a similar bug this year. Hope you feel better, it's miserable being sick that long.

Still gotta work. Been watching more tv and doing so fishing when I'm not on the clock. Nothing will keep me from the river.
