England,
My son's infant grandbaby caught the infant type of covid. Since no one in the household is sick, and, like you, they hand sanitize and wear masks, they figure they brought the germ home on their clothing.
That’s what I’m wondering. As only place I’ve been in couple weeks is the reptile store

Yummy. I see the return of Adam has brought a lot of room mates out of their dark corners.
Yes
I suppose I also vanished from the room.
I see that there is STILL no diet MOUNTAIN DEW or CHEERWINE

I have to venture out into the cold, dark world today. My computer picked up a virus and I'm taking it to the shop. I'm taking advantage of being out and about, and also going to the battery store for a specialized bulb for my lamp and a garage door opener battery. Then a trip to the hardware store for potting soil. I also need to stop for gas. Whew! Although, far as my truck's concerned, it's probably a good thing. It could use a few miles on the freeway!

I'm considering getting a Chromebook because I understand they are immune to virus. Please give me your thoughts on this - pro and con. I LOVE using the computer. Am I going to be able to adjust to the Chromebook?
Chromebooks are very simple devices. They’re designed to do the basics, nothing more, and for the use you give a computer it is probably fine.

They rely on you having an internet connection as they do everything ”in the cloud” rather than using lots of programs you have to instal on the laptop.

Covid test has come back positive. So I’m under full self isolation for the next two weeks.
I have no idea how I’ve picked it up other than possibly somebody at the reptile store a couple week ago when I picked pumpkin up.
Im ALWAYS hand sanitising. And NEVER go out unless I have a bottle of it with me.
bloods show that my iron levels are low. Which I don’t understand as I’m a fruit and vegetable freak. ive been prescribed Iron medication and have to go back for more bloods in couple of weeks.
so yep I’ve been hit by the damn virus. GREAT. Can things get worse?
one thing I’m worried about now is if Affina or pumpkin catch it. As it’s been proven animals can get it.
Im now wearing disposable gloves when feeding them. Aswell as wearing them when handling pumpkin for soaks along with face masks. Ive sanitised my house from top to bottom Which almost killed me.
Im going to Go back to sleep now.
And hope that when I wake up this is nothing more than a nightmare and the hospital will call back to say it’s negative. one can dream right ???
Sorry, but not surprised, to hear your test was positive. Look after yourself. It will take time to recover. x

Oh No. Lets hope it wasn't someone from the CDR rooms spying on you. Is anybody missing? I think it is time to do a roll call, to make sure that all our roommates are still here and not in Cathie's trash can.
I doubt it was anyone here. I think it was a fly getting revenge for all the flies I've laughed at. While they died in my storm door window being fried by the sun. If I can't show em out that's where I trap them.

I've decided against it. I took the computer to the repair shop and when it comes back I'm going to invest in Malware Bytes.

Sorry I would be no use here.

Oh no sweetie. I am so sorry. But please rest and take care of yourself. Don't over do it. This is not something you should take lightly, so don't push yourself too hard. Still do those vicks Rubs etc, they will help open up your chest and help with breathing. Big virtual healing hugs are on their way.

I’m going to try it once I’ve had this phone call.
wouldn’t tell me results over phone. All I got told was I’ll be called for some one to talk me through the swab results. And bloods.
Two old home remedies I use for couphing are 1 hot gargle with salt water. Or 2 a mix of apple cider vinegar and raw honey half and half. You can even put some fresh lemon in it. That one you can take by the spoonful. Or gargle with just apple cider vinegar. What ever your stomach can deal with. And the steam and the Vicks or tea tree oil. Keep the humidity not dry not too wet. 40 to 60 percent. Sorry to talk your eyes out.
