As someone from the UK, it feels a bit strange to see Fauci look calmed and think that that is a lovely thing. I hope this translates into lives saved.

Thanks, everybody. Managed to get my PCR test done today, glad that’s out of the way. I have a mild fever of 100.4F/38C. Some people say that adults are not supposed to have such fevers but I feel like I always get one with my pretty much annual bad sinus infection.

good luck james redd.

somebody in my co-working space tested positive but i wasn't near them so i didn't need to get tested. i did anyway. negative. feelsgoodman.

It's the relief borne of being listened to at last.

I had a 101 fever during my last sinus infection

Thanks, Neanderthal.

Funny thing that, how not being listened to is stressful.

I used to get a sinus infection like clockwork every winter, which stopped immediately when I quit smoking.

Usually it goes away after two or three days of intense rest

Once it gets to the point I have the symptoms where I allow myself to rest

Glad you got your PCR test done. Fingers crossed and take care.

Fauci did seem to positively glow in the clip I saw of him tonight. Must be a marked relief to know ones going to be respected for expertise and like actually listened to.
Biden not going to be improvising dream remedies or destroying attempts to coordinate combating the pandemic.

My sister got her first shot (Moderna) at Disneyland today. Extremely efficient operation, in spite of the distribution/logistical clusterfuck upchannel from here.

Temperature down to 99.6 today, lowest temp considered a fever.

if it's COVID the temp will fluctuate a lot ime. nothing, high, inbetween - often several times in the same day.

Interesting, thanks.

There's a COVID test centre (for those with symptoms) built from prefabs, marquees and temporary barriers in a local park and visually it's very Worst Festival / Funfair Evah.

oh JR fingers crossed for you

what the hell is this

No matter what language you speak — or in my case try to — all of us need to stay home.

Thanks, everybody. No fever now, mind is pretty clear, just super-achy in neck and back.

Good to hear it's better. Take care

I'm thinking of you, James.

Thanks, everybody.

Weirdest thing is my wife’s test came back negative. I thought there was a chance I had gotten it from her, since she goes into work a few days a week. I guess you really can catch this being inside a store for a few minutes.

Wishing a quick recovery for you.

You can totally get it through your eyes. A friend chided me for starting to wear eye-guards over glasses for grocery shopping in december, his point being it's been safe the last eight months, so why go paranoid now... but as rates go up, odds go up. a friend who got it last april mentioned the only place it could have been was one of three masked visits to the corner convenience store.

So masks are no guarantee (I love how Tucker translates this fact to 'masks can't help you' when in fact they keep people from getting bigger exposures / viral loads). Batten down & shrug this fucker off and please keep us posted

Air quality makes a huge difference. If you're inside a poorly ventilated grocery store, your odds automatically go up.
