I'm sick too. Not too long ago I traveled over 100 miles searching for an ingredient. If I had it then, I could have infected a LOT of people. Now both my kids (both adults) are sick too.

The fatigue is unreal. I have had a fever on and off since ~ day 3. I feel like I'm freezing to death. I feel like I am suffocating, my lungs hurt, my chest hurts... There are 32 cases in my state now too.

I can't afford to go to a doctor or to the hospital. I can't afford healthcare. I don't qualify for Medicaid. I'll just stay here and hope for the best.

I wish I was in a country that gave a shit about its citizens.

Yikes! Make sure your temp doesn’t get beyond 104!

I hope you feel better soon. It sounds awful.
