Could be worse. At least it wasn't bleach.

You could rent our cabin and the treehouse and cabin (or cabins, depending on how mnay)  next door and have the added bonuses of not having to drive far and not having to spend all of your time with them (since our cabin really only sleeps 4, 5 if someone sleeps on the couch/floor)! :P

Apparently we have had our first GRMer get the virus. Carguy123 talked about it in the "panic" thread.

Just learned a friend of mine has been living in the basement bedroom and bathroom since Monday night. Not sure if it is the flu (no flu shot) or MexicanBeerFlu. He had been at a major college sporting event a few hours away, has 2 kids under 5, and his wife works at a public school, so either the flu or MBF seems reasonable. Called the hospital, they won’t test him and told him to stay in isolation. 

My coworkers extended family all have it, but can't get tested to confirm because they keep getting the runaround from healthcare providers. They were at a party with a visitor that traveled back to South Africa. He started feeling ill when he got back there and tested positive for the virus. Now at least 14 people from that party have the virus (unconfirmed) and my coworker and his family have isolated themselves because they had contact with the family members before they developed symptoms.

I work from home so I had no contact with him.

We are sitting on 5 "confirmed" cases here in CT, basically because no one can get tested. Every major school system in the state is shutting down today and I don't think that is an overreaction at this point.

My team lead went home sick last night. Flu and strep test were negative so they tested him for covid and told everybody on 2nd shift to stay home until his results come back.

Completely normal.

Fwiw I managed to stay off the internet completely from noon until now (and I wasn’t sleeping). Almost 7 hours of being disconnected actually felt good.

You missed 7 hours of quality porn.

Hi Appleseed,

Content needs to be rationed as nobody is shooting. Get ready to see the same old faces in the same old places for a long time.

How many money shots did I miss?

All of them.

If you lower your standards to gutter level, it will be a long, long time before you run out of porn.

Two weeks ago, today, I woke up with a cough and sore throat.

Sore throat eased up 4 or 5 days a go, yesterday morning was a little concerning.

This morning I wake up feeling, not 100%, but pretty good.

If this was the coronavirus, it was a mild version from what I have seen.

Some of our members have or will have it, keep them in your thoughts.

I work 24 hour shifts. When I’m driving home the next morning, I feel like I’ve advanced to the next round. 

And now a friend is reporting symptoms. Same as with my team lead they tested for strep and flu, got negatives on both. Her doctor is apparently trying to deflect from saying it's covid and isn't testing for it. I don't know what exactly that means but according to her, no alternative theory was provided. She works at the mall and there were apparently 2 workers with similar symptoms at a store adjacent to the one she works at. They haven't been added to the official count of confirmed cases yet so it was either something else or they just weren't tested.

Still no word on if I'm supposed to be at work tomorrow or not. I'll probably have to be calling them a couple hours before my shift unless Kentucky gets hit with travel restrictions like other states have already done. 

I'm really not looking forward to seeing any from you. Stay safe guys!
