Corona Virus

[Vida May]

I have appetite but most stuff does not taste normal yet. Mainly just eating a bland diet. The only taste buds that are happy are the ones that like sugar.

So what are you eating? My refrigerator is emptier than it has ever been. I can not think of what I want to eat so there is no point in going to the store. But I have eaten everything I can just pick up and put in my mouth. Mostly peanut butter. Peanut butter on apples. Peanut butter on bananas. A handful of nuts and another handful of nuts. The food I bought the last time I was in the store is gone. Except for the chocolate popsicles. I bought a big box of them.

I have canned food and a TV dinner. I have not had to blow my nose nor have I coughed in the last 2 hours. Maybe tomorrow I will test negative.

Bread, toast, cereal, crackers, then on to the sweet stuff, donuts, cookies, apple pie. I did go to the store this morning, needed more sweets but also got some fresh produce, corn, asparagus, yellow squash. I will try those and see. I just have no desire for meat right now.

I hope you do test negative but I would still wear a mask if you can tolerate it. You sure don't want to get reinfected on your trip. Hope it is for pleasure and not work.

Last week I could make myself feel good by taking good care of me. But enough already. Complaining has given me the most pleasure today. Strange how that works. Thanks you all for being there and reacting. I swear it is an awful world that is just there and does not react to me. It is like the silence is screaming! I turn on the TV for distraction but it only irritates me. Oh, oh I got it. I am putting the DVD about dinosaurs. Right now running for my life because a dinosaur is coming is better than just sitting here waiting until I take a COVID test.

You can bet as soon as I have two negative tests I am going out in the world and start talking to people.

We got, what we think was Covid last year. It felt like a wicked cold that lasted 3 weeks. Our taste buds diminished, our lungs were sore, our ears were plugged and we lost our appetite. We didn’t feel better until after the third week and even then we were so weak.
Luckily we only had it once that we know of. We didn’t take any Covid tests but if we ever feel like that again, we will.

I'm sorry, but this pure is scare tactics. The corona virus is a common flu virus. Are nations taking steps to control the spread of this virus? Yes. But that does not mean that the virus is a death notice if you get sick from it. The death rate is less than .02 %. It is a type of flu, and those with compromised health issues are those with the greatest risk. While this outbreak is serious, it is a type of common flu. The common flu can infect large numbers of people. We DO get flu outbreaks this time each year. It is prudent to try to prevent the spread of the virus. It is not the Black Death.
Mr. Cotton is big on scare, supposedly this is some Chinese biological weapons program gone wrong. While he's big on scare, he's awfully light on proof.

Flu or COVID-19 - Which is Worse?

Whatever kills you, kills you, so which is worse??? When I wrote that, it was on the assurances of "the highest authority of the government" that covid was no more dangerous than the common flu.
