Thinking of you and sending a prayer or two your way. Thank you so much! I am doing ok for the most. The biggest issue is lack of smell. This messes with the taste of food! My weight is only down by 3 pounds of which is not bad. I am glad I am not in the shape as some people in North Carolina. We are having a big rise in cases of covid 19 in North Carolina. Counting down the days when this isolation will end. I am skyping with my wife who is upstairs! This is weird, but the best way to communicate!

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Glad to hear you are doing okay and not having severe symptoms. My sense of smell isn't the best anyway, but I would hate to not taste any food! Hang in there. You've almost gotten through a week, right?

Her sense of taste is suspect as, after she smells some things, she asks me to taste it to see if it’s alright. I was under the impression all women were like this.

I just read this article and thought if share it. It's says that certain blood types may be more susceptible than others to COVID 19. Type O would be the least susceptible and I fall in that category. Would be very interesting if there is anything to this. https://www.foxnews.com/health/certain-blood-type-limit-risk-covid-19-other-may-hurt-study-suggests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If all goes well, Friday will be the final day of isolation.Went beyond the 14 days though of which I am not complaining about. Will wear a mask for the long term though when I go out in public. Thanks for your prayers and thoughts my friend! I ate a bowl of frosted flakes this morning and could actually taste it and smell it of which has been gone for a good while. All in all, I think my case has been mild and one manageable compared to many of the poor souls who have dealt with this dreaded virus. Ready to focus on Auburn football and put this dreaded virus behind me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbelle 5,299 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Florida has had a significant surge in new cases..... Come on down to the beach and get COVID 19 while you are here. What kind of madness is it to open beaches during a pandemic, and allow tourists to swarm in? No one has been wearing masks or taking precautions while vacationing. The locals act like nothing's going on....birthday parties, restaurant and bar outings.....grocery store runs with kids in tow and not a mask in sight.

The locals act like nothing's going on....birthday parties, restaurant and bar outings.....grocery store runs with kids in tow and not a mask in sight. We are currently in the Keys. Monroe County is requiring masks for all public places and most everyone is adhering to that rule. They are super strict down here, because they don't have adequate hospital beds for a big influx of cases. They have opened the Keys back up, but I would not be surprised if they shut them back down for non-owners again. A couple of days of spiking illness here. Nationally, I wonder if it could be related to people not being cautious while protesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish no one to contract this horrible disease, and the lack of concern and cavalier mindset will cause some serious and possibly very deadly outcomes. If I could tell those folks what they are up against, they might think twice about their reckless behavior even if mine was a milder case. Then again, 125,000 plus deaths are not enough to get their attention. Just say a prayer that they will learn before it is too late for some of them.

Most cities that have researched it are showing that it's not the protests, as protesters have largely been wearing masks and, while the protests represent large individual congregations of people, they are still isolated events held outdoors. Weeks of people all over a city/region crowding indoor spaces such as restaurants and retail stores is much more dangerous and has been the cause of most of the spread.
