Crazy thing is we are implementing the mitigation process very slowly. I cannot see American society be in complete lockdown for 3 months let alone 18 months.
This, I give it two weeks until people are back out and businesses open up (unless police/govt go place to place shutting them down)

My wife caught something early on in the year (jan/feb?) and I'm thinking along the same lines you are. She had a fever, body aches and a cough that lasted over 2 months. It seemed worse than the normal flu because the cough wouldn't go away...
We kind of half jokingly wondered if we all have already had or are currently carrying the virus.

Now I’m wondering if what I got in nov was related (interesting enough a friend in NY and her family also had the same issue). Got a crazy cough that lasted ~2 months but whatever it was irritated my respiratory system so much that it caused me to have asthma (used to have a little asthma as a kid) and I still have it. Could be something different but I never had a cough/cold linger that long and never cause me to be unable to breathe. Only thing that gives me pause is that I got it in Nov and didn’t have other flu symptoms, really no other cold symptoms than the cough

Doctor on hydroxychloroquine

I think hydroxychloroquine is the answer. There were trials of it during SARS outbreak with good success. In short courses very few side effects. It’s dirt cheap and available, for now, but also available in droves internationally, and you can buy it from foreign countries right now online if you were at risk to have on hand.

In the US, we’ll be out by the end of the month, but it will save lives AND looks like it makes you less contagious earlier by dropping viral counts very quickly.

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Just had to RUN into the grocery store to get something, saw a handicapped, elderly couple getting out of the van. I just got 2 boxes of gloves, and felt like it was the right thing to do to give them a handful of gloves because, kindness costs nothing. The old fukkface jerk off guy starts giving me shyt, and an attitude. Probably should have told him to suck my dikk, but the Rona’ gonna judge him and his wife. fukking incredible.
