I thought I remembered that you and Mrs Knig have had some issues? Please, if you can ( if you don’t have already), get an oximeter and monitor your oxygen saturation. 83% is hypoxic; you can drop from 90% to there very quickly with acute respiratory stress. Given your distance I urge you to play it safe.

If you never get the shortness of breath and fatigue, but “just” the fever (I hate fever), that would be great and your odds of good urgent care + palliative prescriptions delivered via phone or Telehealth are good. If you have a primary care physician, call her/his office manager to see what they want you to do for reporting, and what their surge protocol would be (call them first, etc). Treat everyone like plague carriers because 20 minutes by screaming fast ambulance is too long. Be well.

Also not a boy, so yeah. I had to call my little brother, who is in IT (and, very important to her, was an EMT driver), and ask him to tell her what I told her. *sigh*

If the American people would only unite in having faith in our Beloved Leader then he’d have more success in wishing this problem away! Did ya ever think about that?

He will begin to amplify scapegoating. Then justify quarantining specific groups more than others. That’s my thinking. He did National Emergy, and he has learned only one new trick during his presidency and that’s that he gets to circumvent the rules if it’s a National Emergy... even if there’s a real emergency.

Making it up as they go, no truer sign of being unprepared.What if we all use Orange bronzer and stare at the sun, yeah, that'll do it.

The British guy says austerity kills. Well there’s a solution to avoid tanking the economy and austerity.

Tax the rich, and give the money to those who need it, set up universal healthcare, etc.

Agent Orange is also the Captain of Team Pathologically Selfish Hypocrisy
