So for the past week my wife won't let me anywhere near my kids house, I was working in the garage minding my own business away from everyone but now that's on hold. My oldest daughter works in Saint Francis operating room every day and my wife is out of her mind about me being anywhere even near the property she walks on .im not going to add to her stress by fighting her. The stress level is so high. We do actually know 5 people with the virus. So I'm just home painting closets , cutting tree branches and trying to do 8 miles a day on the exercise bike!!

Well, my plan was to fish 2 or 3 days a week, but my half time job (3 days one week, 2 days the next) has turned into 4 or 5 days a week because a couple of the older guys decided they were done (I don't blame em) and one guy in the reserves got called up to the Navy.

But so far I have still gotten to go at least one time each week.

THey surprised us here in pa and started trout season a week and a half early so it wasn't crowded. I had my son out twice, he is loves it. There is a small lake we go to that's so packed you normaly cant get a spot to fish. Opening day there were an 1/8th of the people there.
Other than that we are staying home and away from people.

well, I've been forced to amend my corona plan. I went and got the corona. man, this sh!t was INSANE!!!!!!! the sickest I've ever been, without question! even though the trains were almost empty, I managed to catch the dam thing. i'm over it now but it was unbelievable! spent 2 plus weeks on the couch while my AMAZING wife took care of me, in addition to all the other stuff she does. she works in the local high school so thank god, she was off to take care of me. I can see how those with compromised systems aren't making it through this. it's a killer! this Monday will be my first day back at work for a month. it's been nice but time to get back to the grind. since they've gone to a weekend schedule, i'll be losing a few hours overtime a week. also wont be able to work my days off, since the overtime has pretty much dried up. my earnings are gonna suffer this year but DAM!!! I made it through the corona. I hope all you clowns are staying healthy and safe.

Glad you recovered CTT.

Just curious, did anyone else in your house get it?

Very happy you're still with us Charlie. Happy to talk to you rather than about you. A lot is still not known about this virus, including if people that already had it can get it again, so stay safe and act like you've never had it and need to take all precautions. Gloves and masks are still a must. :head:

Like i said, I been thinking bout you yankee boys. Glad you made it through CTT. Good news is, hopefully you have the anti-bodies now and some form of natural immunity. They are thinking about opening our beaches on a limited basis, biggest fear is everyone who owns a condo will flock down and bring cooties with them. So far we’ve had about 60 cases and 2 deaths in a county of around 200,000. Not expecting our peak until May 5. My wife is running a call center for a local health provider with the capability of 50 test a day, but are only at 20-25 a day so far. Next week they will be getting the rapid test, so that number will go up.

I glove up and wear a mask when away from the house, hope everyone is doing the same

Damn Charlie hate to hear that but happy to hear you pulled through it! Both my daughter and myself were sick with flu like symptoms in mid Feb. They kept saying my daughter had bronchitis and at one point said she had pneumonia. I really suspect she may have had it. There's a chance I did as well. We may never know.

CTT Forgot to ask - did you lose taste and smell? Reason I ask is because back in Feb when I was sick I had loss of taste and smell. That was before I knew anything about that symptom being a marker for the virus. Probably just a coincidence.

I had something late October. Very bad cough, out of breath, fever and very tired. I would wake up in the middle of the night and cough so bad I almost couldn't breath. I hate doctors and don't believe them so I didn't go, plus I wont take any medicine. It lasted for about 3 weeks but the cough stayed till around Christmas. If I would laugh I would start coughing. my wife and son got it and went to the doctor, said it was a cold, gave them prednisone. My dad got it and his doc said it was a viral infection and gave him an antibiotic. I think it was here way before anyone knew about it.
