I had the same sickness in early January - like nothing I ever had before. I assumed it was flu and probably was, but I have had flu a few times before in my adult life and the development of this was different. It started with back and chest pain like I had never felt before, that only lasted for a night and then I woke up with a bad sore throat. Over the next few days I felt like I had a head cold but after about 5 days I developed chills, fever, extreme fatigue (I couldn't get out of bed and was sleeping 18 hours a day) and a rumbling, productive cough. This went on for about 8 days, but I was fatigued and a bit short of breath (chest felt tight) for about three weeks. It seems way too early for COVID, but at the same time I live in a town that has a lot of international tourists that come up here when they are in Toronto. I wish I could get a antibody test too. Chances are great that it wasn't COVID, but I think that they are now discovering it has been out and circulating longer than they thought. Did your illness follow the same pattern? I have had flu before and flu usually comes down fast, like in a few hours, but every flu can be different I guess. 2019/2020 is supposed to be a bad flu season.

I could not find the discussion , a recent one, on surge protectors..do you have any thoughts on just getting a basic surge protector like this>
Great idea! Gave $20 to nüCampAppreciation, and was careful to Lysol the credit card first before using it with the gofundme site.May 12

jkjennThey believe Covid was here far earlier than they originally thought, so who knows?
