    I think I had it back November. It was mild, a fever, cough, fatigue, no runny nose or anything. Main thing was a constant tickle making me cough.

    I had the same thing. The day after the Superbowl I woke up with a bad cough. No fever or other sypmtos though. I think maybe I was a bit fatigued but not severely. After about 3 days I felt normal again.

    No way to know if it was coronavirus but I have had the same thing in the past. I think the last time was 4 or 5 years ago.

    So far ... the US response is looking stellar. As I noted in the previous post, % spread increased from 8% to 21% between March 5th and 10th. 11th-13th held steady at 16%, 22%, and 21%. According to the data for today so far, we have already cut that to 10%. This means that our social distancing is already starting to work. And ..... of course ..... Apparently hoarding toilet paper has the ability to cut the spread of COVID19 by 50%.

    On a good note, and I can't think of a better time, but today is Steak and BJ day. So something to celebrate for everyone

    Is that cases of the virus or cases of toilet paper?

    For toilet paper you would have to add lots of zeros to those numbers.

    Comforting statistic .....

    Your chance of catching COVID19, ... and I mean just catching it, in any country but Italy is less than the chance that you will be shot and killed in Chicago. Your chance of dying from COVID19 is way less than the chance you will be shot and killed in Chicago.

    Just sayin .... now pass the toilet paper.
