One of my neighbors is a 63 year old doc. He, like me, is is eliminating some of his personal-carefulness-procedures in hopes of catching a light load.
Granted, he's a healthy and hearty 63 ... but we both say get it on and get it over with.
The mental Institution that I go to every day says that I either have to have the test in my nose or in my rear. My doctor says that it is because I suffer from Cranial-Rectal inversion. My head is up my rear. I choose the path that works both ways and not the exit road.
no test
don’t know anyone other than health workers who have tested.
Don’t know anyone who has had it either.
I sort of made mental notes. Out of 103 reports, I recall about 7 who actually knew someone who had the virus. About 12 who heard of someone. Not a huge reason to be frightened to death on what “Might” be something like the Flu and most who die from Flu are elderly (in nursing homes) with issues. I am a healthy 86 and have not even had a cold since I can’t recall (years). I live alone and go out a lot to buy groceries, work in my garden, etc. There was a bad Flu going around through the winter. I didn’t even think about catching It. I have been following all the ups and downs of treatments and have added Zinc to my vitamin list.
I'm curious if many of these tests are faulty with lots of false positives. Some news of "outbreaks" seem ludicrous with numbers so high they don't agree with the ratios, even with their tendency to lump flu stats in there.

Thank you. 7% is actually higher than i would have expected, but its good to know. Congrats to you...Keep that garden going. My mom(94) was gardening near daily up til about 2 yrs ago. I think that kept her health good for a long time.
Meh, I’m not worried about it. Granted I’m only 31, but even before it was widely known to just be a 65+ thing, I wasn’t very concerned.
Got the antibody blood tests after riot duty (part of the Guard’s medical outprocessing), both negative.
Now I had a cousin at my kid’s first birthday party who tested positive a week after the party. Been 2-3 weeks since his positive. No one else has tested positive. Yet my unit is still requiring me to get another test before drill next weekend... :/
