    Ah, good to see that he still retains good taste in cartoons. Which is it, Dexter, Samurai Jack, or the PowerPuff Girls?

      And Lucas has partial loss of smell and taste...

      Oh man. I hope he’s ok or has an easy case.

      How are you handling in-house separation?

      He has his own bathroom, the kitchen is off limits for him, we will retrieve whatever he needs. He also gets possession of the computer room since he was in it a lot the last few dayy. We also have reserved a spot in the family room where he can be with us but socially distanced so long as he is masked...

      Still, Karla and I both think that if he’s got it, we’ve likely got it...

            On a side note, pretty cool to see you use ‘wrt’, I thought only math geeks use that.

                    He'll likely be fine but keep us posted. 😞

                      Should we treat the symptoms? He has an elevated temperature but below 100 (99.5) but his congestion is worse. I’m hesitant to give him DayQuil because it would bring down the temp and the temperature is helping his immune system... If it was a cold, I wouldn’t hesitate since the immune system will catch up in a day or two, but with this crap I want to give it every chance to do it’s thing... Thoughts?

                        D2's doc said don't treat the fever. It's one of the few defenses we have against the virus. Of course, there's an upper limit where the fever itself is harmful. But that's pretty high.

                        I agree with that.

                        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        Sounds to me like the "not live in fear" Christians. There's a good many of them.

                                        They're ignant.

                                          There's a deep, dark chasm between 'don't live in fear, God will provide' and 'don't live in fear, but take reasonable precautions'.

                                          What was that old saw about God helping those who help themselves?
