COVID-19 / Coronavirus Pandemic

Took my temp just now. I had some coffee and chicken a while ago that might've affected it, but it was 99.3 degrees. Have had a little bit of a cough and nausea today. Um, I'll try it again in the morning. Obviously, I can't be hospitalized until it's at least 101, but I might still need to hook up a test.

The worst part is, they probably won't let me into the psych's office on Thursday if it's still over 99.
 
Governor Cooper just announced additional easing of COVID-19 restrictions in my state, effective Friday. The main things that stood out to me were that retail stores can open to 100% capacity, and restaurants can open to 75% capacity indoors and 100% capacity outdoors. He says social distancing and masks are still required everywhere though.

Well, guys, I guess we finally beat this thing. Where's that "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner Bush gave me?

Bah, @Linux-SWAT we're not supposed to post that stuff here. @Wally will let us know when news discussion is appropriate.

Reminds me, there was a shooting in Colorado yesterday, and I didn't even hear about it until this morning. Apparently, they're using it to push new gun laws. New gun laws are a win-win situation, because they're both popular, and don't do anything to actually prevent shootings. Do you know how many new gun laws this nation has had since Columbine?
 
I also like how the media used Columbine to suddenly start freaking out about guns again, even though there were shootings before that. I think Chris Rock put it best: "School shootings: Another idea invented by black people, and stolen by the white man."
 
Took my temp this morning and it was 98.9 degrees. I had a suspicion since morning temps are supposed to be low. Took it again just now, and sure enough, a new personal best/worst of 99.6 degrees. I'll keep checking it, but I gotta tell staff when they come in so I can get tested.
 
Staff told me to double check it, and it was back down to 98.9 degrees. They say they're going to get a more professional thermometer from another location though and see what that says.
 
The more professional thermometer, a forehead reader, got 97.1 degrees, then 97.5 degrees. Either way, staff says I'm in the clear. Will probably even go out with my dad tonight.

How many times do I have to say I don't really care about this thread and how many times do I have to tell you don't highlight me.
