OK, restart the count-down

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.

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