Hope you are feeling better soon Neoclasiccl!

For me, I'm officially working from home. I always told co-workers "you won't catch me bringing that laptop home". Guess I'm eating those words.

I work for the biggest airline in the world, flying an airplane that’s getting retired in less than 60 days.......what could possibly go wrong.

With the Big 3 shutting down, it will affect many including myself.

Then lunchtime 11:30am I have a fever of 103.6. The fever isn’t the worst part for me it’s the body aches and headaches. I literally feel like I was thrown down the steps. I do have the labored breathing but very mild. I’m on day 3 and still getting worse. I have no idea where or How I got infected but work seems the probable. Any way I wanted you guys to really take this as serious. I have had horrible flu’s in the past but this is a whole new ball game hopefully I don’t have to go the the ER.

Hey man, it must suck to be felling so crappy. I hope you have speedy recovery. Hang in there.

Pure foolishness...

I'm 7' and almost 300lbs, does that make me more awesome?

I hope you have a speedy and full recovery. Thanks for sharing your story and keep us updated on your progress.

[Neoclasiccl]

Thanks again guys. It’s Still getting worse but still not hospital worthy yet. Been sleeping 20hours a day and even with all that rest I’m exhaust by a trip to the bathroom. I’ve been Rotating ibuprofen and Tylenol to try to keep the fever down but lowest I’ve got it down too is 100.9. Lost 10 lbs in 4 days but I needed to loose it just not like this lol.

I’ll keep everyone updated and I can give you all first hand account about how this illness progresses.

Just stay positive. All this talk about this and that. Now we have solid info from a true source. Get well

We are tracking and dealing with the virus with my job (Active Duty Command and Control) located in Panama City and I have heard, whether true or not, that ibuprofen could actually cause the virus to get worse. It was actually stated that any anti-inflammatory could which includes ibuprofen. Not saying it's true but just saying it's worth checking into.

Yep. Just read that. Not proven but there are other alternatives you can take just in case.

Take care of yourself, continue to rest and don't permit yourself to become dehydrated by any means necessary. Keep us updated and stay tough!

Better check your facts:
During November 2002 through July 2003, a total of 8,098 people worldwide became sick with severe acute respiratory syndrome that was accompanied by either pneumonia or respiratory distress syndrome (probable cases), according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Of these, 774 died. By late July 2003, no new cases were being reported, and WHO declared the global outbreak to be over. For more information on the global SARS outbreak of 2003, visit WHO’s SARS websiteExternal.

This started affecting my job yesterday. They sent home anyone 70 and older. So now I have to do three peoples job's. I'm only expecting the reactions to this to get worse.

It’s looking more and more like this petty dictator in CA will declare Martial Law. Even though streets in the Bay Area appear deserted. Then, venturing outside could get you a military court marshal. Overreaction, perhaps?
