I've been self-quarantined for 45 days now, and - you guessed it - got the virus anyway. Probably got it from Safeway, which I complained about in a previous post. I could not ignore it, as it was clearly a virus, and viruses come from humans - they don't crawl under your door;however, I assumed it was the flu or a cold, as I never got a fever. Well, you generally get fevers with ALL viruses, so this one was really weird. Symptoms were a dry cough (still have it) with no sore throat, shortness of breath to the point that I still can't wear a mask and I have a good one (can't get enough air through it), fatigue to the point that I could walk my dog for 15 minutes and then was worn out for the day, no appetite for two days, achy joints as in a normal flu. I'm back to eating, full strength, no aches, but still have a cough and difficulty breathing at times.

But no fever at any point.

Also, the 6 feet distancing is not enough - that I'm sure of.

That sucks, Scott, best of luck to you!

Thanks Ken. The dry cough did not go away. Day before yesterday I got the abdominal pains again and that night was just like the first night a month ago. And this time I had a small fever. The next day I had body aches again and was fatigued - took a 2 1/2 hour afternoon nap. Now I'm almost well again. Very, very weird stuff. We don't really have testing yet for anyone but people showing obvious symptoms and front-line workers, but at some point I'll get a test to see what's been going on.

I hope everyone is doing well.

I am in south Florida which is a bad spot for the virus, although the city where i live in is pretty good.

I am self quarantining in my condo for about 3 months now, i only go out like once every two weeks to do food shopping. Once in awhile i go out for a drive to clear my head and to try to keep the battery in my car charged.

I am going nuts as i am totally alone. My second wife passed away 2 years ago, and i have zero family. My social life is Facebook. I am basically in solitary confinement. I am over 70, so i gotta be careful as i am in the at risk group altho i dont have any respiratory problems.

Out of stress and frustration and nerves, i am now buying a lot of baseball cards. I had stopped for about six months, but this last month i have been going nuts and bought a 1956 Topps complete set and a 1958 Topps complete set plus a bunch of graded Reggie Jackson cards. Gotta stop, i am not a rich person!!

This whole thing sucks, and my nerves, which are usually bad, are horrendous and its got me tensed up which has my blood pressure way up, plus i am down mentally and anxious about everything.

So thats my tale of woe. I try to keep my spirits up, but at times its hard. I hope all you guys are doing well.

What Reggies did you pick up? I recently grabbed a graded 1977 Burger King card (because it's the first 'main' card with him actually in a Yankees uniform), and an autographed version of the same card. Love me some Reg-gie!!!!
