I had a little bit of sore throat yesterday, and a bit of cough a little while ago, and my temperature is slightly above normal. Any other year, I'd be thinking "just a cold" and going on about my business unless I was uncomfortable. Now, I have to assume that I might have the coronavirus, and even a mild case can be contagious.

Even if I feel entirely well tomorrow and thereafter, the self-isolation now goes to April 12th.

ETA: On the one hand, I'm not in the group they're counting as "older adults" for things like those early shopping hours. On the other, that exercise room I only got to use once before the coronavirus seemed relevant is in the Belmont Senior Center.

Also, since [personal profile] adrian_turtle didn't get sick, and warn me of possible exposure, until a few days after I saw her, I did have a few interactions with people other than [personal profile] cattitude. Not a lot, but I did go into one shop on the way home from visiting her, and I think at least two in the intervening week.

I'm sorry. :( Can I send you anything?

Very best of luck. (I'm confident it needs more than a couple of hours to incubate, but better safe than sorry.)

The couple of hours was me - the time between me leaving the shop and showing cold symptoms _definitely_ does not work.

I hope Adrian is feeling as well as one can be under the circumstances and that you stay largely symptom-free.

(I also hope that we'll get widespread testing soon; it would be nice to have conformation.)

Sorry your life got complicated by this, on top of everything.

How very trying. I hope your illness passes quickly. I'm startling at every allergic sneeze or drip myself.

sending hugs your way. We are in the same situation. Same symptoms, plus a bit dizzy. Solidarity and compassion

We've just had a video call with Cantabridgians who almost certainly have the virus though without many symptoms. Wishing you well. And glad that AT seems to have escaped serious illness.

Well, damn. I am keeping you in my thoughts.
