Glad to hear you didn’t get it too bad. As someone considering sending our 3.5 year old back to preschool/daycare in January, I’m interested in hearing more about your experience with the daycare. Did the kids wear masks? Did the daycare do anything to improve ventilation?
Just wanted to attach this article as well

Isn’t this kind of modeling similar to what @zarapochkadoee?
I have a friend who had it in March, his hair is still falling out, he gets debilitating migraines, and he gets extremely weak/fatigued at times.

Just be careful about the covid long hauler stuff peeps. That topic is setup to have a lot of very bad science behind it.

Birx just said colleges who tested all students weekly and quarantined pozzes only infected 1% of their students. Those who tested only exposed/systematic like the US is doing infected 10%.
So assuming she’s not full of shit (given the source), the US could have 1/10th the spread if the administration only changed one thing back in the spring: expand testing and tracing to test everyone in the workforce weekly.
There could have been creative ways to do it with fewer tests too, by altering work schedules.
I’m still feeling pretty rough this morning. A low grade fever/cough/headache are the main symptoms. If this isn’t better by the end of the day I am going to get a test scheduled. It has been easy to isolate this weekend as I never go anywhere anyways and my wife has been working all weekend but I am starting to realize if I have to completely quarantine for a couple weeks that is going to be a disaster with regard to work not to mention obviously dealing with the virus. I still have taste and smell and no sore throat so I am really hoping this is just alcohol withdrawal from deciding to take a break for a while.
ETA-Pulse ox 90 and a resting heart rate of 112. Seems not promising.

You need to go to the ER if that pulse ox is a real reproducible reading on several fingers.
HR could be just fever related but I admit with that resting pulse ox
How accurate are Samsung phone pulse ox readers? I have taken it pretty regularly and I am in the 97-98 range normally.
I just took it again and it was the exact same, timestamp for reference this time so I can keep track myself:
Fuck man, hope this turns out okay. You’ll be in my thoughts.
Have you had any likely exposure other than your wife’s work? Is she totally fine?
When you were around that client the other day did you have an N95 on?

I posted Monday that I had a dipshit client who can’t figure out technology who I basically had to have come in for a video hearing. We were in the same room masked for 45 minutes. I wore a 3 ply surgical mask, not a n95 which may have been a mistake. From what I know about her it’s likely she was a high risk encounter for me. My wife isn’t sick (yet) not that it means anything but I would bet on my client over my wife at this point.
N95s or just cloth/surgical?
If that pulse ox reading is repeated, listen to @CaffeineNeeded and get to the ER. Don’t fuck around!
This is a sooner rather than later trip to the er if those numbers hold for even a little bit man. Stay safe
