I have a neighbor about a block away, she is related to my father as a distance cousin. She and her husband have been tested positive for the virus, and she starts out having MS as well. This could go very badly.
I recieved a text last night, that two other relatives also have the virus in another state.

Jim, I know it's a long drive,

But perhaps a trip to a town with a real doctor might be in order?

That family of yours needs you around. If'n you're coughin' so hard you make racing stripes in the Union Suit............might be time for a road trip.

Why don't you buy the nicotine angle? I would have assumed that to be a likely reason. Can't really see heat being a factor, but maybe there is another compound in tobacco that might be responsible? Either way, best get on the darts..

I do have a good reason. It just seemed to be too direct\obvious to assume nicotine was the key. There’s lots of stuff in cigarette smoke. Jumping straight to nicotine seemed a leap. It might be a factor or even the key, but this study doesn’t support any theory about a mechanism of action centered on nicotine, nor was it intended to.

That's exactly what I had. January 24th, the same day my cousin died of colon cancer. I ran a fever for 2 days then had a mild dry cough. It felt like I had to clear my throat but couldn't. It took almost a month to go away.

I had symptoms(headache, fever, dry cough, fatigue) for a week. My doc said ride it out, called another and they tested me friday a week ago. Negative. But I havent gone back to work yet. They gave me prednisone, that made me wired but tired. Sinus issues hit last tuesday, aches and pains about the same time. Today, 2 weeks later, I dont feel real bad. Just runned down.

I smoke. Had positive cases at work. Not sure I trust the tests(nasal). One things certain, I never had shortness of breath to where id get dizzy or lightheaded. Not sure what got me. Probably just a regular cold. Doubt ill be approved for an antibody test since I came back negative. But I would do one in a heartbeat just to see.

That would be a "diagnosis" based on signs and symptoms, if done by a real doctor.

You have a "feeling".

My sister and my best friend (two different people) both tested positive two weeks ago. Both work as nurses in nursing homes- one in CT, one in OH. Both have been around patients who died from it. Both of them had minimal symptoms themselves. Sister had a few aches, attributed it to working 7 days a week for the previous 3 weeks, a little cough, but then she lost all sense of smell and taste. She has was born with a hole in heart. Best friend got a very mild fever. He takes fitness somewhat seriously and enjoys running some. Neither experienced anything more than a mild cold. Both have since been "released" by their health departments 14 days later.

I have a feeling that me and my family had it in December, but don't know that for a fact. Whatever we had was really rough on me and my wife, daughter not so much. We're around 50, daughter is 11.

Counting probables is approved now, it's all the rage in NY.
