Yeah I’ve been out of work since yesterday and won’t return till Monday thanks to the flu. Atleast it isn’t Coronavirus so there is that.
On a brighter note my RE Amemiya vented headlight cover finally showed up from Greece six weeks after ordering it. Can’t wait to paint it and stick it on the RX7!
Stay healthy my friends.

I’m really glad I caught the flu about 6 weeks ago so I didn’t have to quarantine. Unless it was coronavirus, and I’m now immune. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I’m kinda hoping I get it so I can see what all the fuss is about.

You don’t want it my friend. Good chance you’d be okay but it’s affected my state hard.

Tangentially related- I see a lot of people saying “oh the CDC/WHO is saying 86% of infected will have mild flu like symptoms, it’s nothing!”
I bought into that for a while then I read more and “mild flu-like symptoms” doesn’t mean “symptoms like a mild flu”, it means “symptoms which are considered mild for this virus are similar to the flu” and include but are not limited to: pneumonia, difficulty breathing (but not to the point of necessitating a respirator), vomiting, diarrhea.
I think I’m just gonna keep washing my hands and keeping a distance, working from home when I get the go-ahead.

It might not be fun, but odds are I’ll be fine and this hysteria over it is just too much.

I lost about 3 pounds with the flu this week. Win!

Just like the cold and flu, you can be reinfected by corona virus.

Eh, if I get it, I’ll probably be fine. That said, I’m still taking precautions because I don’t want to spread it to friends, family members, and coworkers who are much older than me who are significantly more likely to not be fine, were they to contract this illness.
A friend posted to social media saying “stop panicking , you’re causing markets to crash!”
The markets will recover in months, two years tops. Dead people don’t recover.

There is that! I’ve been doing keto for about a month and I’ve lost a great deal of weight so this just gave me the motivation to do a fast lol.

Wait, is that true? Source please?
I know you can get the flu every year, but it's technically different viruses. Can you get the same flu twice in one year?

For the flu it takes another season before you can be reinfected by the same strain. However, there have been reports of being being reinfected by coronavirus this season.
There’s always a chance a virus could rapidly adapt in the same “season” and start reinfecting people.

Ugh to all of that. I'm going to hope it's just some unlucky bastards getting the flu and coronavirus back to back.

Yeah, it can also stay in your body for up to five weeks, so they may have not actually gotten better from the initial infection.
