Covid19

The virus succks. My wife got it at a part time job she had and about a week later I came down with symptoms of a bad cold. I haven't had a cold in years. Neither of us ever had a fever, as a matter of fact my temperature was low 95.8 to 96. When I was in the hospital for a heart problem they made me walk around to elevate my blood pressure and temp, that was fun. They joked that dead people had higher temps and blood pressure.

Have not been tested but I am pretty sure I had it back in January, Out of knowhere, for about three weeks I was hacking up phlegm and felt really bad, but no fever either. I dont smoke anything and I also had not been sick for a long time.

Glad to hear your doing good.

Beginning of February I had fever of 103, broke twice. Coughing like a son of a gun and had moments of short breath.

not sure if it was the rona or not, but I survived.
