My sister and brother-in-law are getting tested as I type this. They've had mild fever/shortness of breath/cough/general fatigue.

I just came off antibiotics last Saturday for a "severe ear and sinus infection" and, after a day of finally feeling like I was getting better yesterday, I've been feeling pretty crappy again today. Feverish, post-nasal drip induced sore throat, body aches, and upper respiratory tickle/cough.

This is exactly the way I've been feeling most days since November. I'm still sticking to it being here even way back then. If I don't feel any better tomorrow, or if I notice further decline in my condition, I'll be trying to get tested as well.

I'm hoping it is allergies, but it has been going on since before spring allergy flare up, and I've never had allergies make me feel this cruddy.

Could be sickness and then allergies piling on. Being sick that long is abnormal. May as well go attempt to get tested just to know. It will at least allow you to be on higher alert if things turn on you.

96% of people who are tested, with symptoms, are negative for Coronavirus.

Lots of stuff going around right now, so hopefully you guys are dealing w allergies

 

On a side note, if we find out that this is like other virus attacks, then we will have a lot of Americans who are immune within 2 weeks.

I have thought already about what and where I could volunteer if needed.  But that would be after I get it and get over it.

Think our death rate as of now is around 1.28%

The malaria drug has everybody hoping

If I didn't have to travel for the next 4-6 weeks for work, I would totally do one of those studies to get it. fug it. 

I think it's valuable to get tested just for peace of mind if nothing else. I know so many people with mild symptoms or nagging sickness that are worried to death about it, which all that stress makes their immune system weaker anyway. If we had ample amounts of tests, I don't blame anyone for wanting to get tested if they are ill and need the peace of mind.

It was part of the reason I mentioned having some 20 somethings in the military go through the 2 weeks and be coming up clean by next week.

Would be great for all the military hospital ships not to be having to worry about anything as they possibly work with people.  Anyway, I would volunteer for it if I were in the military and all my health records looked good

100% agree. Pretty good odds you would just end up with mild symptoms at that age anyway.

Nope, I still have a full head of hair. If I start balding I wouldn't hesitate to do it.

Once you get over the age of like 25 - if you choose to shave your head, and you are not bald or balding - it’s a bad look. Unprofessional IMHO. You have been blessed genetically to have a full head of hair you need to not spit in the hair gods face.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄

      I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
