That’s what they call it when there aren’t tests available. ‘Unspecified acute lower respiratory infection.’
We think we have Coronavirus. The numbers are under-reported and the voice mailboxes to say “hey I’m sick” are full or to get a test are full. New Yorkers are being asked to stay at home if they’re not experiencing failing health conditions.
My symptoms feel like someone’s poured hot sand in my lungs, a lot like an asthma attack but with fiberglass fibers in my lungs. We have hot tea, elderberry, plenty of asthma meds, and food. We’re going to hole up for the next two weeks and see what happens.
If there’s anyone you need to make amends with now, I recommend it. Next year at this time we will be remembering dead.
