Herself has been sent home from work, and they are trying to organise a Coronavirus test^*

So I'm also assumed to have it - understandably - and we are fully quarantined. You should probably wear PPE while reading posts from me, and seek medical advice if I have helped you recently.

My Antivirus didn't help, not did my firewall ... it was an inside job!

* More complicated that it should be: she doesn't have any photo ID as she can;t drive and never leaves Wales unless she has to, much less the UK.

So, you're approx 3,813,333 Kevin Harts away from me, but a few more probably wouldn't hurt. At first, I thought this overkill, but if society has taught me anything of late, it's nothing is apparently overkill.

For those unaware, Conan did a joke/commercial on using Kevin Hart cutouts for distance measuring.

Does she have any symptoms?

Hope you two stay okay. We'd miss you around here.

My wife had something for a couple of weeks, fevers, fatigue and then in the middle of the night what we thought were just muscle cramps in her ribs. One CT scan later and she's in the hospital for 36 hours with blood clots in both her lungs. She's home and mending now. Tested negative for Corona at the Emergency Room.

Intermittent temperature, fatigue, and a wet cough - so hopefully it's a cold or flu.

"Get well soon" to your wife as well!

Oh f***! That's potentially really bad.
Make sure they have checked everything really properly!

She's been to the hematologist and is on blood thinner for 6 months, she's slowly building her strength back. She's anemic and Dr put her on iron.

I have alarms on my phone to make sure she takes her meds.

Sorry to hear that. I hope both of you come through OK.

Thanks - so am I!

Mind you I'm hoping we all get through this - but I suspect there is still worse to come for us all.
