It sounds like we need to pull together in this time of great need and suffering by so many of our CFers. This is truly a turbulent time when all our thoughts and prayers can lift these guys up and give them the strength to pull through.

Or, does anybody know where you can get a discount on bulk coffin orders?

Not exactly sure.
This has to be what I've had (still have) despite testing negative. I've taken more advil, benadryl, Flonase and mucinex DM than I have in my life. I finally got a steroid inhaler and prednisone that was helping.

If we're ordering bulk coffins, put me down for one.
My wife was ripping me one night because I was moving at Biden speed and she was loading the vehicle more than me. She followed my symptoms two days to a T at first. Difference is, now she is still complaining about this crap and I've just moved on and hope the last pieces are gone soon.

A lot of Covid going around. I thought I had strep so I went in to get meds, nope so they tested for the rona just incase. Yep, I had it and they said it's flared back up. Mostly like a cold this time around. Sinus issues, cough, aches, and a headache.
Well that sounds exactly what I’m dealing with but it’s about 12 days now. Including a slight headache

At least you know for sure and can react/care for yourself appropriately.

My youngest had identical issues as me two weeks before. He tested positive for strep though. He did go to a different clinic, the local one seems to have everyone trip negative for strep but if they follow up elsewhere, they are positive. People are starting to question this clinic.

Does being tired every day around 9:00 pm count? Was never a problem back in my college days, but now, just can't seem to shake it. Thinking about seeing my doctor.

Same, except replace 9:00pm with 3:00pm.

I was just talking to my wife about this last night. Someone at her work brought it up and of course, she came home and started hassling me about how bad I act when I'm sick. I don't really see it that way, but OK. It's all perspective. I usually keep to myself and avoid others, maybe she sees that as being overly dramatic.

In the end though, my response was, "Well, you are probably right, but I guess that comes from only being sick once or twice every couple of years. I guess if I were in the situation like you, where you are in a constant state of coming down with something, have something or getting over something, maybe I'd be used to it and not act the way I do."

Seriously, maybe I am overly dramatic when I'm sick, but it's a small price to pay for it happening very rarely. Unlike my wife, who always seems to have some degree of a cold going on.

Crap is going around

Janesville CSD

rSontpdseom97h4acggh6m59gtf6t87c159g0umgu73f07l57a87tla960f1 ·

Staff and Students-
The Janesville CSD will be closing today at 5pm and will remain closed until Friday morning at 8:15am. All activities scheduled during the period of time have been cancelled.
Wednesday and Thursday will be virtual school days. Teachers will be connecting with students with the expectations over the next two school days. Students in grades 6-12 will be expected to have all virtual work completed by Friday when we return.
Unfortunately, we ended the school day today with 127 students and 13 staff members absent. That is not sustainable. Our staff will be cleaning and disinfecting the district over the next few days.

My thoughts are with you and your family.
