Good info to know first hand. So I assume you got tested?

I wanted to give you guys a rapport on this.
For me it wasn't a big deal , pretty mutch the same to a flu.
Difference is , I usually clear the regular flu in a couple of days with everything at ones (headache , sore throat , slight fever , coughing).

This takes longer because the symptoms are separated.
So you get a days worth of splitting headache , feel better the next day and the day following that you wil get a hint of sore throat etc. etc.

To be honest , for me the regular flu makes me take a couple of days of lying down and sleeping a lot.
For this I didn't even stop working and I have a very physical demanding job.
Allways outsite carrying around tools and hardware , Climbing ladders and stuff.

Got a little worried when it got to my lungs . . . mostly because of the media.
Cleared that as ussual , no big deal.

Now I'm just a closing down snot factory.

My advice . . . Be carefull and prepared , but don't get scared.
Best of luck to you all.

Bob.

I called my physician about the situation and gave him my symptoms , asked to be tested.
Because I come across a lot of people in my profession (customers / colleagues) .
He told me that i had 80% chance of having covid19 , beeing that I'm from a area that's heavely struck with it .
I also visited a hospital for a shoulder complaint I had , and that day it was filled with covid patients.
He refused to test me because the test are in reserve for seriously ill patients.
So I'm not 100% sure but the facts mostly point in that direction.

When tests become plentiful i'll be called in for one.

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
