Girlfriend is picking one up at the store right now. A little surprised how hard and fast this came on. Was at a launch party (unfortunately) four hours ago and just had the scratchy throat. Thanks for the concern!


Even if you get a fever, still more likely influenza than this coronavirus (though that can still be pretty terrible!). Drink lots of fluids and get plenty of rest. Call your doc tomorrow if you’re getting significantly worse. I hope you feel better.


Additionally the flu virus going around this season is a particularly bad one.


Unless.. the flu is the coronavirus!

But the CDC isn’t testing it.


Well, the reason I say this is I caught seasonal flu in the fall, a few months before the coronavirus was discovered in China. It was one of the worst flus I have faced. It was a very body-achy kind of flu, which afaik is not a covid symptom.
