Been real ill for a week or more. Seems a tummy flu. My online pals say get a test it could be you know what. Maybe. Actually I always assume I'm infected, and act accordingly. I never go out except for groceries, and only when there's no one about. However with the new strain this may not be enough.
A South African FB pal whose husband just got the new strain sez take this bleep serious. She told me to get a Pulse-Oximeter.
This because you won't feel that your O2 levels are fucking up. Good point I did just that. Also btw I bought a bleep load of first aid, and medical supplies last April. My Pandemic hoard. Shoved it into a back pack in the hall closet. Totally forgot about it. It just came in real handy.
I fiddled with the Oximeter thing. See above. My heart, and O2 rates are good. If you're in the 90~100% range ya cool...south of that ya fucked. I looked up symptom varieties. Seems respiratory is the first to knock on ya door. So far okay. Still I'm sitting tight.
I'll get the vaccine if they ever get their shit together. I'm for damned sure not getting on them mile long lines. If I don't have it now I'll for sure get it there,...forget that. I'll wait till local drug stores do the deed. Might be a month or more off shore so I'll stand fast, and wait. ...I have time. All the time in the world.
Watch out for losing your sense of smell.
ReplyDeleteIf you wake up and don't smell the coffee, you might have it.
You could get tested for antibodies.
Don't drink coffee.
ReplyDeleteHowever smell is still with me.
I can scent my cooking, and exhaust from the snowplows. So far so good...I guess. Some smells I could live without.
I'm mainly just very tired. Some chills some fever, and my tummy is still fucked up.
Might be tummy flu.
However as I say I go on the assumption I've been exposed. I'm acting accordingly. When the Vaccine becomes more available I'll get a shot.
Right now it's like trying to win the lotto.
Thousands lined up for vaccine that then runs out. These jerks need to get their shit together.
Granted #45 left no plan.
When Uncle Joe's boys went in they found no plan whatever. Vaccine doses were sitting in unrefrigerated warehouses spoiling. It was criminal. #45 was a disturbed, and evil man.
