    COVID-19 In-Game Thread / Any SBR posters have it yet?
    I figured we could do each other a service with the play-by-play if anyone comes down with it or has already...

    Don't worry about any stigma, I expect most of us are going to get it eventually anyway. I also expect it to play out like a regular-to-bad cold for most of us... although there are probably some pretty unhealthy SBR posters.

    I have a bit of phlegm in my chest, but that's probably standard issue as I feel fine and have no fever... I will report in this thread if anything develops.

    Man, working from home will really get you stir-crazy... At least we have horses and Mexican/Russian soccer to bet on.

      Half the people that get it don't even feel symptoms.. Doctor Oz was just speaking about this on Fox news now.. Children are almost completely immune to Corona also..

        Thanks for your report, WV, keep us in the loop. I will do the same. Are the two of you continuing your work as normal at the hospital?

                I must say with all restaurants and bars shutting down now there are gonna be ALOT of waitresses, waiters, busboys, and bar tenders out of work.. THAT SUCKS!!! ..

                How are then gonna pay rent, creddit carrd payments, etc.. with no income? Recession coming now for sure..


                This shiiit just got real for alot of people in America!!! Yipes!!!

                  They've all been tested? The problem is a lot of people are asymptomatic. They could have it and not know

                    I would assume 0 people that I know have been tested. I'm just saying I don't have any friends/family members/coworkers telling me they have it or know someone that has it

                    in a week, that may easily change, but as of now 0

                      2 days ago I didn't feel too well and had a slight fever of 99.4

                      Laying in bed, the back of my t-shirt and pillow were wet from sweat.

                      Next day I was perfectly fine. It's weird because if I catch the flu I usually get it bad and have it for a long time. Every single fukkin time I battle it for 1+ weeks

                      So no idea what I had a couple days ago and will probably never know.

                        I'm talking with other land owner friends of mine, apartment building owners, and I ask them are you prepared to lower your rents during this time to keep your tenants and avoid evictions.. They all say yes..

                        My friends are good people and not greedy slum lords though.

                        The eviction attorney business and jobs right now are about to become booming..

                          It's winter and the regular flu bug hasn't just disappeared because of Corona.. Keep that in mind Digs..

                            I have been going about my daily life just fine. Concerts, Parxx, restaurants. Everything is closing around me but NJ is holding down the fort for now.

                            PA literarlly shut down a massive 1700 acres State park. THAT"S WHERE PEOPLE SHOULD BE. With no surfaces for it to sit and plenty of room for distance.

                            Yet we keep stores/gas stations/airports open? LOL.

                            This has more a politcal feel to it (the response). Outdoors is where you'd ideally want people, or in their own homes

                              Yeah I am not saying it was coronavirus. I just have no idea what it was is all I am saying.

                              I feel fine now, that's all I care about.

                              Party time!

                                Panic shoppers in tight long lines to get into grocery stores like Costco doesn't seem like the brightest move ... People are so stupid..

                                  Just heard a guy on the radio say he was out of toilet paper and really needed some and finally got his hands on some .

                                  He said it was 1-ply and rough and his butthole is raw.

                                  No joke, he said this on the radio.

                                    Lol, you can use kleenex as that's even softer, even the boxes are colorful and soothing to look at when wiping clean.. ..

                                    Might be cheaper then TP now.. Win Win!!!

                                        I have plenty TP Smokey.

                                        If you need some, send a smoke signal.

                                                Technically you don’t even need any paper if you’re near a sink and have a washcloth and soap. Hello?! The world would go on.

                                                    I wonder how many people had it and didn't even know it. I had a sore throat/chest cold/cough back in February for about 3 days and didn't really think much of it. Just took Dayquil and Nyquil and went to work.

                                                      90% sure I have the corona virus. I feel lethargic and have a little throat phlegm building up. My gf’s boss confirmed has the virus in la. I flew back to nyc where I was in contact with a few members of my family and my best friend who live or commute in nyc. My best friend got an email someone in your office within 12 feet has the virus please self quarantine. Now my brother who works at another big company in the city with a confirmed case has it. He is now feeling a little worse than me. I flew back to la a few days ago and have been holed up since. Will let you guys know how I feel going forward and if I can get tested soon

                                                          My brother just got back from a Dr. Appt. Not coronavirus related, he just had to get something simple done and didn't want to put it off for 3 months.

                                                          He said his doctor tried to shake his hand.

                                                            Thanks for the update, bro, keep us informed.

                                                            I feel short of breath now but I'm pretty sure it's because I just worked out for 90 minutes and overdid it out of sheer boredom... and overdid my situps/ crunches that I never do, so now I can't tell if my stomach muscles are just tight when I breathe. Lol. Still haven't had a fever or a cough, so I assume my phlegm from my throat/chest was just normal crap.

                                                              If you guys aren't fat old over weight farts in bad health to begin with then you and your brother will be fine.. Just take it easy, rest, eat healthy, sleep, stay warm.. Try eating raw garlic and vitamin C around the clock.. Lot's of water and hot soups.. Treat it like a flu..

                                                              You'll rebound..
