I Got Them Excited

If you are curious how anxious people are because of CoVid-19, all one need do is get the flu.

I did just that. Last Sunday I was feeling a little ill but it quickly got worse from there. I found myself shivering and feeling very nauseous. By Monday morning I felt as if I was dying. It was typical flu. I have no idea where I got it. One would believe it unlikely that flu could be caught since we are sheltering in place for CoVid-19 and these measures are supposed to stop it.

The hospital's response was what I would label as overdone. Masks and gloves were expected. HazMat suits were too much. The questions were numerous and my answers were, at least I thought, obvious. I was sweating, shivering, nauseous, aching, coughing; all those things you feel during flu. It was so overdone as to cause me to think I was a suspect in a crime... same questions over and over. Some of the staff seemed to be openly hostile toward me. Here I will say, a swab up your nose is not pleasant. Especially when it feels as if they are attempting to gather brain matter through your nose. after much poking and prodding, I was finally ordered to home with no stopping anywhere. Really? I have the flu. I had no desire to go to the hospital in the beginning. Why would I desire to be anywhere other than my house?

Now I am becoming better and do not feel as ill. What I have learned from this is if I begin to feel ill again... remain silent, dry the sweat on my face frequently, do not cough where I may be heard and insist I am not ill.

So how was your week?
