I have enough food and things for next few days, but already I’m worried about straining friends - and the ransacking going on in supermarkets. I just tried to buy groceries online and it’s impossible. They’re out. But the real thing I’m thinking about…

To those saying, "there's a chance this just the flu, too." Oh I absolutely know. I said as much. This is the base problem of confusion. Same goes for actually knowing if I had it or not for when this later blows up and I wonder if I can expose myself or not. Schrödinger's Covid

Oh and to those sort of implying, NONE OF THIS goes against my doctor or anyone else trying to make insanely hard judgement calls with incredibly limited resources. It's the problems of the situation itself.

Mark ByrneVerified account @markwbyHere’s something that’s absolutely terrifying: a comparison of the age distributions of Covid-19 cases in Italy, where they are only testing people who show symptoms, and S. Korea, which has broad testing. A whole lot of 20-29yos out there who feel just fine but are v contagious. pic.twitter.com/BU96h3VKUcShow this thread7 replies 28 retweets 174 likesShow this thread -

Update: Woke up feeling like shit. Doctor overwhelmed, so ppl who understand these things better than me GROSS CW, what to do if phlegm has lots of brown and red when I woke up, now sports the occasional pink? Even the regular greenish seems very dark olive. Haven't seen before.

Yeah, you need to go to the ER. Call first to let them know you're coughing up blood and probably alert them you think you have COVID-19.
