Going from learning obscure maths to not deathly ill, in what, 9 hours, is still moving pretty quickly though.
Fingers crossed for you, stay calm, as hard as that might be.

I finally have a productive cough. Feels incredible. The last weeks I’ve been feeling like my lungs are full of sand and I couldn’t cough it up. It’s finally starting to move and I’m amused at how bloody good it feels to be able to cough properly. Significantly less breathless, although I wouldnt want to overdo it still.

I think I'm finally over it. I haven't had a fever in a week, and it's been a few days since I had a bout of fatigue. I still cough a little, first thing in the morning, but that's going away too.
Since March 5, I've only left the house to drop off a cat for dental surgery and pick him up that evening. The only human I've spoken to face-to-face in all this time was the vet receptionist, and we were never closer than ten feet from each other. I call my mom a lot, because I can tell she's relieved when I do; she says she's staying home now after I got pissed at her for running stupid little errands every goddamned morning, and while I don't know if I believe her, I'm just letting the matter drop. I've done my best, and there's nothing else I can do from 1000+ miles away.
My neighborhood has never been this quiet; I'm on an incoming flight path into our nearest major airport, so the sound of planes making their final descent has always been part of the ambient noise--until now. I actually notice the sound of airplanes these days because there are so few of them. Also, the constant "rushing" sound of cars on the two freeways a mile or so from my house is eerily absent.
So I'm just chilling with the cats, getting caught up on housekeeping and other DIY projects, reading books, getting caught up on podcasts, and shitposting. As a hardcore introvert, this is the crisis I was fucking born to live through, I guess.

Looks like it finally started for me last night. Headache, upset stomach, scratchy eyeballs, and this morning a fever. Talked to my coworkers over livechat this morning, turns out two others have had the same symptoms for a week now, and another had the same symptoms the week before schools were closed, so around the 10th of march. There were also several cases of some odd gastro issue+headache spreading throughout multiple buildings before we closed, so god only knows how long this has been going around, but more and more of these "gastro" cases are turning into corona diagnosis, whenever they actually get tested.
So yay?
So yay?

West coast USA here. My social distancing apparently failed because spouse and I are both sick. Started about a week ago with us developing stomach issues. We both attributed it to the new quarantine diet. A few days later I was feeling fine until I woke up in the middle of the night with terrible sweats and a fever. Felt a bit better the next day. Started noticing that small physical tasks were making me feel winded. Here I am a week later, I get some shortness of breath, not bad. The waves of fever come and go but are still pretty bad at night. Husband has slightly different symptoms, more shortness of breath and a small cough, less fever. We both have the shits.
Looked that up and it seems like gastro upset is a pretty consistent but overlooked symptom. If you have the squirts, it might not be from the Taco Bell you had delivered.

So going on day 3. Headache isnt as bad today, but it tends to be worse in the evening, so we'll see. Fever broke overnight, but is starting to come back now, never goes over 99.0. Gastro felt better during the day, but the churning got more aggressive last night then the night before, and had cramps that kept me up for a few hours. Eyes still feel weird on occasion, the feeling isnt so much scratchy, but is similar to the feeling of high blood sugar. Comes and goes. Also had some of the tingling sensation, again feels similar to high blood sugar, but every check has shown numbers are in the normal range.
That in itself is a bit weird. Normally my blood sugar consistently runs in the low 200s when I'm sick, but this time it has remained normal. No idea why. I've been taking large doses of Vitamin C and D, that may be helping keep this thing at bay.

Perhaps all those people doing TP runs were smarter then we thought....

Started having gastrointestinal issues. I feel weird giving TMI, but it's unusual for me to have diarrhea, I tend to have the opposite issue due to taking an iron supplement. I've been taking more vitamin C than usual, so it might be that, but I've never had issues with it before (I usually up my dose when I get colds)
Other than that I don't really feel badly, but my eyes seem a bit more sensitive and I feel a little bit "floaty" in the head. I remember this was my first symptom when I had h1n1, it almost feels like I'm a little bit high.
Temp was 98.5 this morning but now is 99.1. It's hard to know what to make of that though because that's pretty normal for me to be about 99 in the afternoon.
I don't exactly feel sick, but something feels a bit hinky. Just going to drink some pedialyte and take it easy, that's really all I can do for now.

A reminder that there was a non-Corona-chan bug that has, and is still, making the rounds.
In my case it was a ear/throat infection and lovely lower GI shenanigans.
My favourite part was the delirious fever that had me bed-ridden for two days.
Papa Nurgle's new favourite ain't the only lady of the night making the rounds.
Quarantine and all the other wisdom that is being rediscovered by the masses works for more than one bug, ladies and germs.
I'll see myself out.

Some dude at my work was trying to hide a cough but he got busted and I found out he had been coughing up spots of blood, is that a symptom or was it some other illness?

That can be a symptom. I've tried to get tested a couple of times even though I'm getting better just to see, and my doctor's scheduler asked me if I was coughing up blood. It's a sign of associated pneumonia, I think.

I also have the gastro+headache issue, been going up and down these past two-three weeks. Only had two really bad moments thus far. If it's the chinkfection, it's a very mild case. If not, am avoiding contact just in case so that I don't have both at once.

Went down to the CVS and Dollar General in search of TP for my bunghole with gloves and wipes and all that shit. Scored 16 rolls of generic knockoff Ultra Charmin substitute. It was weirdly fun to have a routine trip to score some mundane item seem like a secret mission, in a really autistic, retarded way. I swear everyone who left the store coofed immediately upon leaving. Not even a fit of it but just from trying not to the whole time they were in there.

the pneumonia that corona victims have has more bloody/frothy type of secretions compared to other causes of pneumonia (those usually have yellow/green shit)
these are both symptoms of dealing with a lot of stress, don't forget.

Well dead people posting here does sound kind of creepy. I mean that is something we should worry about. Do you want this place getting overrun with fucking zombies?

Oh god no.....
I'm not sure what the hell it was. Seems that it was just a gastro bug, matching the symptoms many others were having before the lockdown, whose symptoms can ALSO be associated with corona (gastro upset, headache, low grade fever) in its first wave of illness, before the coof sets in. Which, on the one hand is great, I REALLY shouldnt be getting corona, well, EVER, but on the other hand I was really hoping I had picked up a minor case and would be able to get over it without issue, and was kind of looking forward to getting over it and knowing I was going to be OK if wave 2 ever hit.
The symptoms could ALSO be associated with stress, and vitamin C doses of 2000mg or higher. Which I was taking, but the symptoms (especially the fever) hit before I started taking Vit C, so that wasnt it.
Instead its back to the status quo. Maybe I was just subconsciously stressed from being stuck inside for 3 weeks, and finding out we now have 4 more to go.
