Might as well have a COVID-19 thread

Stayed home this morning. Drizzle and cold so thought better of playing golf. Mentioned to my dear wife that I planned on returning to the course tomorrow. Well, after living with a dear friend for 54 years... sometimes you can hear what they aren't saying. She casually mentioned she felt it in the better interest of my health... and hers... not to be amongst people. The tone was not demanding, but easily recognizable. I think it in the best interest of having peace with the one you are apt to be locked in the same house with for a few weeks to stay home. Now I have to decide which voices in my head to listen to.

3 cases in Citrus County. Our golf courses are open to members only now, everyone rides in their own carts by themselves, leave flagsticks in, hat tips on the 18th green. We made hand sanitizer ourselves from 151 proof grain alcohol and Aloe. Things are worse in VA, so we're thinking about staying here a while longer.
 
Went to bed last night with a runny nose and bit of a sore throat. I’m now in self-isolation.
Thursday: Throat feels a bit scratchy
Friday: Throat in full-on infected/swollen pain
Saturday: Fever
Saturday night: clearing my browsing history in preparation for impending death
Sunday: Throat feeling better, fever gone.
Monday: Back to normal

You know how scary it is to get a fever these days? My wife was in full panic mode.

Welcome back from the dead. :D

Glad it was just an ordinary fever type thing instead the Corona thing.
 
1 confirmed death in my county.

I'm kinda starting to wonder if someone walks into the doc and says they have the symptoms and the doc just rubber-stamps COVID-19 on their chart. Possible?

The only person I know personally that has been 'confirmed' to have Covid-19 never got a test for it. Basically the Doc asked him questions about his symptoms and said 'Yeah, you probably have it. Stay isolated for two weeks.' Since his symptoms were mild, he never ended up going to the hospital. No idea if he was one of the 'confirmed' cases or not. This was information from his dad.
