How has the virus affected you directly?

So I found out today that a job I had coming has been nixed. It was ready to start like a week ago. Permit issued and everything. It’s a chiropractor office (a franchisee of a national chain). They don’t want to dump a bunch of money into a business since they don’t know when they’ll get clients.
It wasn’t a huge job for me, but it would have paid my bills for a month.

Massage palours and spas are told to close down here a few days ago too.. anything to do with touching someone's been banned.

We need testing, but no shortness of breath and no high fever are good signs. I think? Unless we have a mild version. But still no widespread testing here. So we stay hunkered down, and just monitor ourselves for any of the real serious symptoms.

Everything I read/heard from virologists, infectious disease specialists, etc they all seem to agree if you don't have a fever you probably don't have the virus.

Be well.

We have 8 things of children's liquid tylneol and 6 of Motrin in case they get it. Already had a lot of that before this hit too. Told my wife to buy two more of the Motrin. And a big bottle of Tylenol for us.

Right, I did feel warmer than usual, but my normal temp is lower than the traditional standard of 98.6, it's usually fractions of 96 or 97. I understand modern folks have lower average body temps than in the past. So I felt warmer than usual, at 98.5, but that's hardly alarming, just made me feel feverish, but it needs to go over 100 to become more worriesome. Felt better when I awoke this morn. I will say that if it's simply the common cold, and I did get a flu shot this year, it's one of the mildest colds I've ever had. Just bad timing, because one can't help but wonder.
 
My stepdad has family in Italy. They said that everything the doctors said about this virus weeks ago is happening there exactly how they said it would happen.
 
By the way, I forget if I posted this but I ran the numbers yesterday. We could be at 10,000,000 cases in the U.S. in 29 days with 25% growth day over day.

By about 5pm (I think that's when the numbers are generally counted on the one site I use), we would have needed to be at 15,000 cases today for this hold up. We're already at 16,000+ and I think will hit today what is the target number for tomorrow of 18,750.

That said, once we start getting to really big numbers, the % comes down. For instance, once we hit 100,000 cases (we hit that in < 2 weeks imo), 25% growth becomes REALLY tough imo as I doubt we will even be able to test that many people a day.

Nevertheless, pretty crazy numbers.

This has honestly affected me more than 9/11 did.

Was supposed to go to Belarus/Ukraine next week. Obviously that's not happening. It's not clear that I'll have another opportunity to do a vacation this year.

I do one big party at my home every year in May based around the Eurovision Song Contest. This is a big deal for me and my friends. I usually have 60+ guests. I hire bartenders to make custom cocktails. There's a costume contest with a championship belt for the winner. Eurovision was cancelled.
