    update,

    just spoke to a friend that I used to shoot with,

    while he has felt fine, and not been tested,

    his Wife, Son (and Girlfriend), Daughter (and Boyfriend), have all tested positive and recovered from the 'Rona,


    he said a couple lost the sense of taste during it, and all felt crummy, about like a bad cold, for 10+ days

    he, however, just had some allergy type symptoms and felt tired, otherwise good,

    he is a couple years older than I, and she is my age

      Locally, they are doing antibody testing when you donate blood. Hope to get this done myself.

        I have a buddy in Phoenix who had a suspiciously nasty cough and fever back in February. Will mention this to him.

          Late Feb, my wife included, lots of people had a persistent month long cold that kept coming back. Many contacts of mine have independently discussed it. So far, Arizona has very poor testing capacity...not something that commiserated with our spike in Covid positive residents. Ducey is in the back pocket of those that cannot be named.

            We maintain 11 condo buildings . A couple that we saw every week for the past eight years came down with it . He was in and out of the hospital with some frequency this past 6 months .

            She seems to be recovering from it... he just passed.

              In my buddy's case 5 days of continuous coughing to point of blood. Couldn't get out of bed for a weekend, then turned the corner. 3 of 12 at his job caught similar.

                we, (Brother, myself, and brother by another mother) worked a show back in Feb

                brother had just got over pneumonia, supposedly from dry wall work, and no mask,

                I felt odd, not a cold, not really allergies, not really right,

                bro from another mo, had a funky not a cold, not allergies, not flu funkyness going on all weekend, took him a bit go get over it

                I'm overdue for a blood donation, and wonder if they do the antibody here in vA

                  Hope they do Lyman. Selfishly I'd like to know I've got the antibodies and can relax this mask use. At work I must wear it 99% of the time...its inconvenient, and at times uncomfortable.

                    I had it in February. Knocked me down for a while. My wife had it also, a few weeks later. My SIL and granddaughter (New Jersey) had it and are now well. In this immediate area we have had 88 cases and 2 deaths. If you or one of your family/friends have not had it, good for you. Later you'll have to deal with it. Perhaps a useful vaccine will be developed before many others come down with it. Sincerely. bruce.
