What if you already have the virus?

Trestles is mine!

Did you get your test results back yet?

Last night I had indigestion but I thought it was lung failure.

I just saw somebody else posted this up already. My bad.

No results yet. And last night I had stomach stuff going on as well. And I was starting to freak. I dropped a couple of Xanax and went to bed. (I haven't been sleeping) This AM is the best I have felt in two weeks. I still don't think this is it. It's been way too mild. My Doctor wanted the test. I was content to just ride it out at home.

If this is not the CV it's like no bug I have had before.

I wake up feeling good and then I hit the wall and go down hard again.

I'm not sleeping either.

I feel better today

Just tired.

This has been going on for weeks.

I'm not complaining--

Wait, I think I am. :poop:

Lol what about the hoards of walkers, joggers, and lancers out there that no-one seems to care about?
I dunno man I'll fckng lose it after too many days of not being outside, at all, no exercise, nicest time of the year. I go alone and make it a point to give everyone else a wide berth.

I don't get the group thing and refusing to distance when huffing and puffing though.

besides the wind carrying it, I wonder if the water can too for a period of time. before UV rays kill it. Say someone who has the virus spits into the water, which we all do surfing, how long & far could it travel. you're 6 feet social distance in the line up might not mean jack.

I bought a jump rope. Can do it in my garage. Best decision in a long time.

can a virus exist in / propagate from the ocean?
Here, this article will set your mind at ease.

Blurb:

Every time you swallow a mouthful of seawater while swimming at the beach, you’re downing about as many viruses as there are people in North America.

However, despite the staggering abundance of marine viruses — and the key role that these infectious agents seem to play in global processes like the carbon cycle — scientists still know relatively little about the variety of viruses that are out there. In 2015 a team documented 5,476 distinct kinds of viruses in the ocean. In 2016 the same team updated its count to 15,222.

But in a study published today in Cell, that number skyrockets to 195,728 distinct viral populations, a more than twelvefold increase.
