@very-rusty saidGood job one of us is on the case. Have a word on my behalf, will you?
It is quite ok, I'll remember him in my nightly prayers.

@very-rusty saidStay safe.
Perhaps I didn't explain it properly she has the pnemonia, I just got a bit of sore throat. We both saw the doctor same day. First time I saw him with a mask on, they are being very careful.
She is diabetic so not a good thing for her. Doctor said if she shows any signs of getting worst to call peramedics right away and tell them he ordered it. I have seen some improvem ...[text shortened]... se them at this time right across the world. This is now a world problem not just countries.

@pawnpaw said97% of people show symptoms within 11 days of exposure, with the average at a little over 5 days.
Just thinking, I was in Melbourne over December, and wandered about in Chinatown there, or what I perceived as a portion of Chinatown there.
I know its two months later now, should I go for a covid-19 test?

@drewnogal saidI had a dry cough last Tuesday and Wednesday. No fever and no shortness of breath. No sniffles or sneezing. Not sure what it was, but it kept me out from work for those two days as I felt as if I was run over by a truck. Plenty of pain reliever and sleep and now it's all gone but that annoying throat tickle.
I wondered when one of us was going to mention symptoms here? Keep yourself well hydrated and take care.
First day I did nothing but sleep, but the second day I got up and drank water all day. That helped the most.

@suzianne saidGlad to hear you recovered quickly though you do have the advantage of being half the age of a lot of us 😉

Water is so important especially with a cough and high temperature. I had a horrible virus with a cough last autumn that lasted weeks. Another thing I do is a bit of self physiotherapy by standing in a doorway and taking a few deep breaths of fresh air. My dad and a 58 year old friend, both smokers, died of pneumonia which followed laying on a sofa for numerous days with depression.
